Welcome! I am open and affirming to all adults. My office is physically challenged accessible, as I believe all should have equal opportunities. I practice Holistic Psychotherapy, helping you connect your past events to your present day behaviors, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping you turn your negative thoughts into positive ones, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, which helps you accept the present moment for what it is. Talk Therapy is also important to purge our feelings in a safe space, while learning strategies. I also offer Spiritual counseling for those struggling in the awakening process.

I am now accepting new patients with expanded office hours. I am passionate about helping people move forward in their lives and from feeling stuck to being more aware of what is holding them back. I provide my clients with the tools to move forward and to face their fears and lack of belief in themselves. I use a non-judgmental space, allowing you to share concerns, set up goals and to find solutions. Are you feeling that you are not the person that you really can be? Are you anxious? Feeling limited? Are you unable to move past disappointing events or relationships? You no longer need to struggle alone.

It can feel overwhelming to find a therapist. These are particularly stressful times and you don't have to navigate it alone. We can all grow from the pain and challenges we face. Together we will work on identifying your goals and improving your quality of life. Therapy will be tailored to you. I look forward to being a part of your journey.

Congratulations on taking a step towards change and feeling better! I have had the honor of working with individuals, couples and families in residential and outpatient settings and have witnessed people change and reach unique and individualized goals. I use a variety of techniques such as experiential, CBT, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt and psychoeducational modalities. I use EMDR to help clients recover from traumatic, disturbing and shame-based memories. I help clients find the motivation to change their unsatisfying patterns by empowering them to identify, express and prioritize needs and to stay focused on their goals.

I believe strongly in each individual's autonomy and need for validation. Following 15 years of experience working with both men and women and addiction I understand the interaction of substance use disorder and mental health, anxiety, depression, life concerns and self understanding.

**Currently not accepting new clients** Life is not easy and in this increasingly disconnected society, we often feel alone even when living among the people that we love. As an experienced therapist, I offer a connection built on honesty, authenticity, and empathy. By developing and fostering this connection, we can face your pain together while also uncovering and challenging blocks that hinder your own ability to heal yourself. I use a variety of modalities to help each person meet his or her goals, though EMDR and Interpersonal Process Therapy are my most common approaches to treatment.

I specialize in working with youth, adolescents, adults and families struggling with an array of mental health needs and relational impairments related to trauma, anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, addiction, anger/aggression, family discord, defiance/non-compliance, interpersonal conflict, life transitions, self-esteem, motivation, and spirituality. I am committed to providing my clients with a safe space to explore their inner experience(s) and the impact it has on their current functioning and overall well-being.

We serve children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. Whether they are just starting out in life, or well established, our clients want more from life. More happiness, more love, more freedom to be the best person they can be. We help our clients accomplish this by changing unwanted behaviors and healing painful emotions from life's unexpected crises, or wounds from the past. Our psychotherapy is strength-based, solution-focused and psychodynamic.
