You’ve worked so hard at overcoming your issues in the past and you fear that if you let yourself fully feel your sadness and anxiety , you won't be able to recover.

Hello, I have been a licensed therapist for over 5 years now and have extensive experience in the areas of anxiety , depression, trauma, and irritability. My clients often describe me as very relatable, supportive, and genuine. I want to know about you as a whole, not just the "issues" or "problems" you are coming to therapy with. If you are motivated to see changes and work on yourself, I believe I am the therapist for you!

Is life just too hard? Have you tried everything that you know how to do and nothing helps to make things better? I have been trained to evaluate your situation and to empower you to change your life in ways that you hadn't thought possible. I have a master’s degree in counseling depth psychology, am certified in EMDR, and am a leader in a form of creative exploration called Interplay. My specialties are treating trauma, depression, anxiety , spiritual crises, and coaching to evoke creativity. I primarily work with individuals and groups.

My ideal client is the individual who is motivated to change and possesses an ability to actively engage in therapy.

Traumatic and stressful life experiences have made it challenging for you to live life the way that you want. You find yourself struggling with thoughts such as, " I'm not good enough", "I'm a failure", or the feeling "something is wrong with me". You have struggled with anxiety or depression for as long as you can remember. Living this way is exhausting, and you want something different. Traditional talk therapy can be helpful, but sometimes it's not enough. Brain- and body-based therapies, such as Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) can be helpful.

It is my hope that in working with individuals to better meet their own goals, I am able to help them to be happier and more productive individuals. I look forward to meeting with you and exploring the different options to changing your life. Over the past 19 years I have worked extensively with at risk adolescents and their families as well as adults struggling with depression & anxiety . Please take a look at my website for more information regarding my experience.

Seeking therapy can be a frightening experience and finding the right therapist is extremely important. I belief in the value of a strong therapeutic alliance for the success of therapy and prioritize creating a trusting, safe, and nonjudgmental environment for clients to feel comfortable opening up and work through whatever is bringing them into therapy. My goal is to help individuals achieve their goals and resolve their issues using measurable and evidenced based approaches.

Yogi Berra was on to something when he said "“Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical." The only thing is, baseball is not the only sport that is impacted by the mental side of the game. In fact the mental component is important in anything related to performance; sports, public speaking, music, emergency-work, military, etc. As a mental performance coach, I help client's with topics including, but not limited to: confidence, anxiety , injury and return to play, stress management, communication, recruiting, relationship dynamics, relaxation, focus, and performing under pressure.
