I believe a caring, collaborative approach is the basis for growth and healing. I enjoy joining with my clients to transform stress into wholeness, peace and satisfaction. I specialize in treatment with adults seeking recovery from trauma and transformation of long standing patterns and habits. I work with individuals struggling with relationship crisis. My treatment approach draws from emotion focused, mindfulness and imagery. I use a "parts" approach when "part" of you feels one way and another "part" feels an opposite or different way. I recognize each person's unique spirituality as a component of healing in their therapy.

I use cognitive and mindfulness based approaches to help clients learn ways to think and respond differently to stress, loss, in interpersonal relationships, and effects of trauma and abuse.
Life changes can quietly shake your confidence—whether it’s a shift at work, a relationship change, caregiving responsibilities, or realizing that the way you’ve been coping no longer works. You may find yourself overthinking, doubting your decisions, or feeling unsure of who you are in this new phase of life. I work with adults who are adjusting to change and struggling with self-confidence, self-trust, or a sense of direction. Many of my clients are capable and responsible people who feel frustrated that they “should be handling things better,” yet feel stuck or depleted.

For over 20 years I've helped individuals, couples and families discover new pathways forward. We all experience times when we're feeling life is getting away from us. We feel as though we're missing the opportunity to maximize our potential. As a result, we feel sad, a little upset, and at times a bit disappointed in ourselves. Sometimes this is due to a lack of confidence or belief in our potential. Other times we simply find ourselves having to manage unexpected and unfortunate circumstances out of our control. If you've been experiencing increased anger, stress, anxiety, or fear of the unknown, know that things CAN get better.

I work primarily with people who have experienced trauma and couples who are looking to work on their communication. Clients and couples who are introspective tend to thrive in therapy with me. If you often ask yourself, “What makes me feel this way?” or “Is this normal?”—you’re not alone. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more, helping them explore their thought patterns. When we understand how we think, we can better understand the behaviors that follow. My sessions focus on uncovering those connections and building insight that leads to meaningful change.

Current Openings! I specialize in supporting clients who are struggling with feeling unheard, invisible, not enough or even "too much", whether in their relationships with others or with themselves. Often what has happened to us can shape our emotional and social blue prints. I can help clients learn to name and acknowledge overwhelming or confusing emotions, while also understanding and honoring the messages and roles these emotions may be communicating to us. I often work with folks who are skeptical, sensitive and question whether it's possible to feel safe enough to be yourself in the world.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
