Therapy is a journey; my role is simply to walk with you as you navigate the stressors and complications of life. It is my goal to provide a secure and healing environment in which you can begin the process of restoring the person you wish to be. I believe you are worthy of an unbiased, safe and productive opportunity to process your experiences.

I have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, with an emphasis on trauma-work and sexual assault. I have experience working with couples, families, and individuals.

My ideal client is a human person living on the earth. I believe that even though the human experience is subjective and unique, there are ways to connect and heal that transcend the superficial and speak to the core essence of our humanity and our shared experience of being alive. All humans suffer trauma and even though the specific details are unique, the experience of grief and recovery have universal features that are accessible to anyone who seeks them out. I believe that all humans are equal and that everyone deserves to feel heard and seen. I am here to facilitate healing and growth in a non-judgmental and fun environment

You try so hard to put it out of your mind. Constantly taking on extra work, keeping busy, continually moving. But as soon as there’s a down moment, all those negative thoughts come flooding back. And at once, you’re right back where you were—heart pounding, breath shortening, mind racing—experiencing all those same feelings as when your wounds were fresh. You told yourself you would be past this by now. If you just ignored it and distracted yourself for long enough, the pain would eventually subside. But that hasn’t worked. You feel shame and frustration that you haven’t been able to fix it on your own. You're about to give up.

I will work with you as an individual/couple/family by assessing what is most important to you in achieving a positive outcome that you decide you would like to achieve. I have been in private practice since 1993 completing post graduate work at Menninger Foundation. I am a Certified Master Practitioner and Trainer of NLP and Ericksonian hypnosis, both which facilitate change as defined by the client with issues such as PTSD, stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, sexual dysfunction, unwanted addictive behaviors as well as behaviors that just aren't working for you. I work with individuals and couples.

My primary goal is to facilitate the positive development of children and adolescents. I work with children, adolescents, families and professionals to identify areas of difficulty and goals to improve functioning. Goals may be related to improving school performance, social skills, emotional or mood related difficulities, anxiety, or developmental disabilities. Once goals are identified, important skills are taught that will help children/adolescents adjust to home and school. This can be accomplished through a variety of services that include evaluations, psychotherapy,and family consultation or coaching.

Do you feel stuck? Unable to make decisions due to feeling overwhelmed? I get it. I too have felt this way. I know that sinking feeling of learning you have a chronic illness and will daily feel the pain, fatigue, and fear of "what's next?" Even worse, feeling that you have lost who you are and who you thought you always would be. It's enough to make even the strongest person feel like giving up. BUT...as someone who has personally fought this battle, I promise you that life can get better, in fact it can be great!
