I have been in private practice for 23 years & clinical practice for 36 years. My clients are individuals, couples and older teens seeking personal growth from issues stemming from trauma, sex addiction and substance abuse. Those I treat are often also dealing with depression and anxiety, and I have extensive experience with law enforcement and PTSD and those healing from childhood trauma as well. I am level I certified in EMDR and incorporate multiple modalities into my work. I have considerable experience with those dealing with personality disorders within their family dynamics and relationships. Couples are a specialty.
My specialty is helping clients uncover the underlying trauma that keeps them from reaching their personal and relational goals. Working with couples has become a passion and helping them incorporate healing into better family functioning is my focus, including helping them identify addictions and building recovery skills. I also provide SUD Interventions.
Taking the first step to reach out is often the most challenging part of initiating therapy. I am happy to speak to you on the phone and answer your questions about what to expect before you schedule your first appointment. Healing happens in the context of relationship and feeling comfortable about what to expect is important to me and to my clients.
