Are you feeling worried? Lacking energy and feeling like you are getting nowhere? Feel like you are not being heard? These are some common complaints I hear from individuals looking to make improvements in their own lives. I empower clients to develop creative and effective solutions to obstacles, with the overall goal of achieving happiness and an overall sense of contentment. I primarily utilize EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to assist clients in removing emotional blocks and to move on from traumatic experiences

People come from all walks of life, no two are the same. With each unique challenge, there is a unique individual striving for change. Trauma and depression can significantly alter an individual's life leaving one feeling completely isolated and confused. My job is to encourage and provide a non-judgmental environment to facilitate healing and positive change.

I use the specialist rather than the generalist model of care. I am board certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and certified in Prolonged Exposure for PTSD and maintain up to date continuing education, seek any needed supervision, and keep up with relevant research findings in those areas. As such, I am particularly qualified to work with clients who seek treatment for issues related to Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Substance Use Disorders and PTSD.. I believe that if you are suffering from a specific issue, you deserve to receive the appropriate care for that issue.

I believe that an atmosphere of trust, compassion, and empathy is at the core of any healing process. Within this context, I provide guidance in uncovering patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that lie at the root of present day difficulties. Often, issues from the past, continue to have a direct effect on current feelings and circumstances. For others, the primary reason for seeking counseling may be related to a major life change or transition.

Sometimes the human experience, known as life, presents us with challenges that we do not feel prepared to handle. These challenges may take the form of relationship difficulties, job uncertainties, parenting issues, grief and loss, feelings of depression, anxiety, or simply life transitions. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in a myriad of settings including a public mental health clinic, university campus, military installations, as well as private practice. In my 20 years of experience, I have learned that people are more alike than they are different, in that, we just want to experience happiness more fully.

The most helpful psychotherapy is a collaborative respectful relationship that honors your innate healing abilities. I will create a safe space for you to explore situations that are currently hindering you from living the life you desire. These might include past or recent traumatic experiences, behaviors that feel compulsive and/or harmful, life transitions, societal pressures, or the desire to "have it all together." Sometimes we seek relief in the wrong places which leaves us emotionally burnt out and seeking answers externally when the key to change is within.

Do you wish your partner understood you better? Do you feel like you can't connect with your kids? Do you want to manage relationships better? You can! I work with clients of all ages to make relationships healthy and strong. Clients see me individually, or with loved ones to learn how to communicate better and diffuse conflict. When working with couples and families, I utilize John Gottman’s Marital Principles, as well as Sue Johnson’s Attachment Marital Therapies. I treat mood disorders, navigating life transitions, issues related to sexual functioning and trauma, as well as interpersonal conflict within close relationships.
