Are you feeling stuck? Is anxiety or depression interfering with the life you want to lead? Is there a disconnect between you and your significant other? Please know that you do not have to face these challenges alone. Counseling can uncover what it is that you personally need to live your best life, and assist you in moving toward it. You don't have to stay stuck. Decide that you deserve to be happy, that you are worthy of satisfying relationships, and that you are capable of making positive changes. Come as you are, and let's get to work.

Are you struggling with uncertainty and stress? Do you feel socially isolated or depressed? Have you lost a job or been laid off? Do you need support? I offer in person and online therapy.

I have 8+ years as a therapist specializing in adolescent health, parent coaching and trauma informed therapies for individuals, couples and families; speciality groups include veterans and first responders. Therapy & skills work are vital in both self regulation and self awareness, however holistic/integrative modalities can enhance a strong therapeutic framework. As such, I am also an IASIS provider (Microcurrent Neurofeedback), helpful in balancing your nervous system.

I've worked in a variety of settings over the years: in schools, community mental health, in home therapy, pregnant and parenting youth programs, grief/hospice, inpatient/residential/outpatient eating disorder treatment and college counseling.

I also consult with parents who are preparing to launch their young adult to college, as this can be a confusing, challenging and emotional time for all. Additionally, I'm certified in Prepare/Enrich, working with engaged and married couples in strengthening their relationship.

My specialized training in counseling and sport psychology allows me to help individuals from various backgrounds and experiences in and outside of sport.

I work in collaboration with clients exploring current issues and reviewing how mind and body are interconnected. I believe when people have hope, create awareness and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, they can experience change.

What exactly IS trauma? Trauma is any experience that the person deems negative and continues to live in the shadow of the event(s). If you feel trapped, like the trauma is following you, within you, or pops up at random, I can help. I love helping people to get "unstuck," so that they are no longer being controlled by their past traumas. I offer two life-changing therapies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy). These therapies help clients transform themselves from symptomatic to symptom-free, giving people a sense of peace, safety and the freedom to truly live life.

As a social worker / therapist, I have 30+ years of experience serving individuals and families. I specialize in providing Cognitive / Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
