In today's hectic society, families often struggle to manage responsibilities and maintain satisfying relationships. I work with couples, parents and adolescents on respectful interaction skills using effective communication, conflict resolution, and boundary-setting tools. Many of my clients are teens experiencing anxiety and depression and feeling overwhelmed by school pressures, demanding schedules and relationship issues. I coach young adults to identify and eliminate obstacles blocking their transition into adulthood. We explore values, self-esteem issues, personality traits, interests, and personal and career goals. I challenge my clients of all ages to examine and adjust thoughts and behaviors which are no longer working for them.

Trauma, addiction, and loss can disrupt one's life - and often require professional help. Together, we can process the fueling factors of addiction, emotional pain, or relationship issues. I feel very blessed to bear witness to change and transformation in others (and myself!) everyday through my work. While many therapists claim to be 'trauma-informed', my practice, the Phoenix Center for Experiential Trauma Therapy, revolves entirely around trauma work. I've been recognized as a Fellow of the American Academy of Experts in Traumatic Stress - the highest status in the academy.

Have you been feeling down or depressed? Feeling worried or anxious? Is your marriage riddled with conflict and you feel hopeless that things will ever change? Are you finding yourself struggling with your faith and can’t seem to get back in relationship with God? Parenting leaving you feeling like a failure? Counseling may help you gain insight into your situation.

I believe that warmth, understanding and compassion are the key to any successful and supportive therapeutic relationship and these qualities are the foundation of my practice. I have been providing counseling services to individuals, couples and families for a number of years in a variety of settings and one thing has always been the same; I learn something new from each and every client and the relationship that is built through the course of treatment is where the healing is created. I tailor my approach based on the needs of my clients and collaborate with them to identify their goals.

I am a licensed psychologist who offers individual therapy for people of all ages experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal concerns, behavior problems and general life concerns. I specialize in sport and performance psychology. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and young adults due to my background as an emotional support teacher, behavior specialist, and collegiate coach. I work with adults to make small changes in perspective, while developing skills to manage difficult emotions and thoughts, improve relationships, and live a happier life.

As a clinician who specializes in men's issues, I am a focused, engaged and passionate helper. I work with my clients to explore self-defeating thoughts that contribute to their life challenges, with the intent of achieving a more balanced (and "fair") interpretation of themselves and their surroundings. As a classically trained cognitive behavioral therapist, I am a firm believer in the notion that our past troubles and traumas play themselves out in our adult lives.

We are passionate about working with adults and adolescents who struggle with the social, emotional, and behavioral challenges related to the diagnoses of ASD, ADD/ADHD, learning differences, parenting stressors and strategies, coping skills, relationship issues, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, feelings of overwhelming stress, and grief/loss, eating disorders, trauma and PTSD.

I thoroughly enjoy my work as a therapist and have worked with children, adolescents,adults, families,and couples. Since my husband and I are in practice together we often work as co-therapists with couples who come to us with relationship or marital issues.

I am inspired by my clients' achievements in overcoming their pain from anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship conflicts, trauma and loneliness. The process of being truly heard and believed in has enabled my clients to feel empowered to make changes in their lives. By focusing on family patterns, personal history, and cognitive and behavioral interventions, clients develop the tools to find happiness within themselves and with their family, friends and colleagues.

I work with people who are interested in producing results and who are willing to engage in a powerful process of getting to the source of their suffering and create new and effective ways of living. I provide clear and direct feedback and specific forms of action that the client can use to break free from suffering and negative patterns of emotions and behaviors. Anxiety, Depression, and addictive patterns fall away as the source of these symptoms is realized and addressed. My specialty is producing results that last.

I help individuals and couples to overcome their challenges and find more fulfillment and success in everyday life, guiding them to attain the personal growth they're striving for. I understand the struggles that accompany a busy or demanding lifestyle, and the fears and anxiety that can arise when life suddenly changes course. I can help guide you through the chaos that can often distract us from our ultimate goals.

Are you constantly worried about things that haven't happened yet? Do you say "I wish my head would just stop" and you're afraid to tell someone how you feel? Does a need to be perfect lead to a cycle of depression and anxiety? I can relate! Through individual counseling offered in my office, online, or a park near you, we will talk about your concerns, problems, and worries. Learn strategies that will lessen the impact of the conversations in your head. Offering personalized guidance, feedback, and inspiration in a safe, nonjudgemental environment.

Let's create the life you dream of, together. I know it may seem hopeless, overwhelming or dark now, but trust me when I tell you that things are never as hopeless or overwhelming as they seem and there is always light in the darkest of circumstances. Sometimes, it just takes some guidance to find it. You are the driver, but I ask that you allow me to meet you where you are and guide you to the place you want to be. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, are in a dysfunctional relationship(s), have been a victim of trauma, are seeking support with stress management, or simply, personal development, I am here for you!

A safe space to be truly heard, seen and understood. Whether you are grieving a loss, feel overwhelmed, lost, or alone, therapy is a place to talk, reflect, cry, and sometimes even laugh. It is a form of caring for yourself. A way to gain support. To pause. To reset. To take a breath.

Do you feel stuck in your anxiety or trauma? We will work together to bring some calm to your life and your relationships. Through the use of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I can help you learn life skills such as regulating emotions, mindfulness, and distress tolerance (surviving crises). Using EMDR, we will be able to work together to process traumatic life events and negative beliefs about the self in order to see a brighter future for yourself, free from past trauma. Change is possible and I can help you hope for a better tomorrow.

Are you tired of feeling like you don't matter? Life is made up of many relationships. Some of them are very rewarding - you couldn't live without them! Then there are....well lets just say "the others". In these relationships, you question yourself, you question your perspective, you dont feel "safe", you question how you got here....in this place where you feel powerless, marginalized and invisible. No wonder you feel anxious and depressed!

Welcome! Seeking counseling is a healthy start to making, accepting and striving for change. Wellness consists of having options to work through. Goals are important to set yet it can be confusing in terms of how to set a path forward. My counseling services are customized to your vision of becoming a better you. The initial visit is free so we can take the time to outline a blueprint of your needs. No internal goal is superficial it all matters in terms of improving the quality of your life.
