If you're seeking an active therapist who does more than just listen then we're probably a good match. I practice strategic goal-focused therapy. You can verify this by watching my videos, reading my book chapters online and reading about my trauma therapies on my website. My two specialties are treatment of trauma and marriage counseling. I have published in both areas. The EMDR International Association has certified my competence and my theory on the psychophysiological basis for EMDR was published in the Journal of EMDR Practice & Research. My book "The Marriage First Aid Kit" has helped thousands of troubled marriages.

Our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects need to be addressed as parts of our whole self and should be included in therapy. I work with women and men ages 15+ to understand and reduce symptoms from various mental health concerns in an effort to work towards holistic healing of mind and body. I have special experience working long-term with persons dealing with the systemic effects of complex trauma.

Accepting new clients. The clients I work best with tend to feel like parts of themselves went missing along the way, and they've been quietly compensating to get by. But they're explorers and resilient as hell, so despite the weight they carry, they search for the missing pieces without any clues or a map... in the dark. And yeah, sometimes they get burnt out. I mean, who wouldn't after trying to get by while missing some really important parts?
Maybe you've spent years putting everyone else first, avoiding conflict, and shutting down your emotions.

I work closely with Black and Indigenous peoples, and those whose lives have been shaped by marginalization tied to race, spirituality, sexuality, or gender identity. Many of my clients carry histories of abuse/neglect, violence, or quieter wounds. We explore trauma, depression, anxiety, emotional stress, and the ways these experiences affect sleep, focus, energy, and our sense of internal balance. Healing is a reclamation of identity and narrative that’s not always about letting go of the past, but about integrating the past with compassion, releasing shame around the past, and learning to love even the shadowed parts of ourselves.

I work with individuals, couples and families to assist with any issues of concern.

If you're exhausted from trying to manage on your own- whether you’re navigating trauma, ADHD, burnout, or the pressures of everyday life- I'm here to help. Healing begins in the nervous system and connection creates the optimal foundation for change. I provide a gentle, grounding presence; respecting your whole being: mind, body, heart, and relationships. I support women navigating “the mental load” and perfectionism, parents needing support and practical guidance, teens seeking safety to explore who they are and wanting to grow in self confidence, and neurodiverse folks who deserve to be "seen" and celebrated.

"YOU REALLY CAN HAVE A LIFE OF ABUNDANCE, PEACE, LIFE, AND JOY!” You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. I Promise you that I am as real as a therapist can get! When you have tried things and they are not working for you, it's time to try something different, and I pride myself in being different and not like every other therapist. Keep in mind that currently I am working with couples and men. When working with couples both parties must be present, or the session will be cancelled.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists
How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?
Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like Cognitive behavioral therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behavior therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.
Are there specific medications for dissociation?
There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom—which may include antipsychotics like aripiprazole, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or anti-anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines.
How often and how long are therapy sessions?
Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
