I specialize in work with individuals who experience Anxiety Disorders (OCD, General Anxiety, Phobias), Depression, Insomnia, Autism Spectrum Disorders as well as those with medical or complex presentations (e.g. depression and diabetes). I believe therapy must involve a human connection and have come to find a good sense of humor is critical to the work done in therapy. Without a strong therapeutic relationship, it is nearly impossible to make progress. However, within the context of a collaborative, supportive environment, CBT tools can be very useful. When CBT tools are not helpful, eccentric evidence-based practices may be.

I pull largely from my experiences with Buddhist Meditation and Psychodynamic Therapy. I typically begin by helping people with anxiety, anger, depression and/or addiction. As these begin to improve, some people want to move further into their unconscious by getting in touch with their inner-child and inner-primal experiences. I also offer psychotherapy groups for those wanting to engage in emotional work with other like-minded individuals.

By using compassion, humor, and research-based interventions I support older teens and adults who are struggling with a variety of adjustment issues, life stressors, and mental health challenges. I believe we are all wired for wellness but sometimes life gets in our way. I used solution-focused and brief therapy approaches to help clients learn new skills quickly. I specialize in working with stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, trauma, grief and health issues (traumatic brain injury, new medical diagnosis, etc.).

When I first became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 19 years ago, our understanding of how past traumas and attachment wounds affected us in the present, and how to effectively treat trauma and attachment wounds was very minimal. Since that time, extensive research, studies, theories and practices have broadened our knowledge of trauma's impact on the mind and body and expanded the variety of tools and resources available to support therapists. I can honestly say I have never loved my work as a trauma/attachment-focused therapist more than I do right now.

I treat adults experiencing a variety of life's challenges, including relationship problems, transition challenges, career worries, money-related difficulties, health concerns, anxiety, and depression. This work combines practical guidance, problem solving and education. My therapeutic style is collaborative. Together, we look for insight into the origins of unwanted behavioral, emotional, and relationship patterns, then use that new knowledge to develop strategies to help you get "unstuck" and move forward in your life.

Therapy is a confidential environment in which you can share your story, the areas of your life where you might be struggling as well as what hopes you have for change. I take a non-judgmental approach to the therapeutic relationship, offering collaborative dialogue and compassionate perspective as supports through the challenging seasons of life.

Are you on a path seeking emotional resilience, self-discovery, authentic connection, and continued growth?

Not accepting new patients at this time. I believe that each person has inherent worth, wisdom and the capacity to develop in ways that can lead toward wholeness and renewed energy for life. My main job is to co-create a therapeutic container where inner and outer healing can take place. I believe that when we listen to psychological symptoms, instead of ignoring or resisting them, we are more likely to find out what is out of balance and needs further integration in ourselves.
