I am a licensed psychologist with a background in community mental health and university counseling practicing privately since 2011. I take a holistic approach to therapeutic work, using the context of culture, personal development, and multiple dimensions of identity. I also specialize in evidence-based therapies including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), behavioral activation for depression, radically open dbt (RODBT) for issues of over-control, and prolonged exposure for PTSD. I am board certified as a DBT therapist through the Linehan Institute and infuse elements of DBT like mindfulness practice into my general work.

I believe the human capacity for change and growth is incredible. Difficult experiences, negative environments, and challenging relationships can distort our connections with ourselves and others. These disconnections can create problems, and I see relationships as powerful change agents--particularly our relationship with ourselves. When clients are given the opportunity to feel heard and understood, healing and growth are possible. To do this, I believe it is vital for us to establish a strong relationship to support the change you would like to make. I provide culturally sensitive therapy to motivated individuals and couples.

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious - C.G. Jung
We are spiritual beings having a material experience. And, life here on Earth can be really, really difficult. In this day and age, it is even more difficult due to the isolation our society seems to perpetuate through false constructs. My hope is to offer you a deeply-grounded, authentic connection so that I may be a compassionate support to your healing as you change and grow into your True You.

A positive vibe between therapist and client is key to successful progress in therapy. A rich investment in yourself, relationships, and the quality of your life begin in an environment that is your own, where we work together to bring into focus a life that aligns with your deep authentic values as an individual, partner in a relationship, caregiver, family member, colleague, and friend. I work with young adults, college students, adults and couples, who are navigating growth and life transitions of any kind. My muse is human connections, and I truly love bridging compassion and understanding.

I am experienced in and enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I believe no one should have to walk alone through the challenges and difficulties of life. I consider it a privilege to provide support and encouragement to others while helping them to find the hope and healing God offers through His love and grace. I stress the importance of the therapeutic relationship as the means in which to help others gain personal growth and strength in order to live the life God has called them to live. I have been married 33 years and have four adult children.

The early years of a person’s life can provide the structure and foundation that shapes how they view the world around them, and how they view themselves. Giving someone the opportunity and tools to identify, process and embrace their thoughts and feelings can make all the difference in supporting someone in becoming who they will be. I specialize in helping children to learn how to embrace and cope with their strong emotions, behavioral struggles, and life changes using play therapy techniques and a strengths-based approach.

Making the steps towards healing and growth can be difficult. My hope is that we can work collaboratively together to embrace challenges, identify strengths and develop healthy coping skills to help you thrive. I have experience working with both individuals and couples navigating relational and sexual health related challenges. Many of us face difficulties related to sexuality and sexual identity. Whether you have experienced desire discrepancies within your partnership(s), sexual dysfunction, sexual trauma, or have questions related to your sexual/gender identity, it can be incredibly difficult to reach out for support.

Counseling provides a safe place for healing to occur. Children, teens and adults benefit from a private spot to sort out conflicting feelings, difficult life circumstances and relationship problems. Learning new ways of facing dilemmas present in everyday life produces energy. During therapy, many of my clients begin to experience an inner calm, increased self confidence and/or a clearer sense of self-concept, which in turn leads to a deeper sense of well being.

When we're faced with adversity, we have two choices: to do nothing and hope that things improve on their own or to engage the problem and transform it. My approach to counseling is focused first on listening and then on helping my clients understand themselves and their ultimate concerns in a deeper way so that they can live fuller, happier lives. My practice uses evidence based treatments and is results oriented. Visit the outcomes tab on my website for more information on my clinical outcomes.
