Have you faced painful experiences that are impacting your daily life? I believe that past experiences can cause "sore spots" that can impact us in the present. I have helped countless individuals work through past experiences for healing and personal growth. I have extensive training on techniques to help my clients on this journey including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I am amazed every day by the way this treatment has helped my clients transform their lives.

HIPAA compliant video sessions available. The problem with daily life is that it is so daily. Sometimes life feels like a grind. Sometimes we lack direction. Sometimes life is just plain painful. You may be experiencing depression, relationship struggles, divorce, separation, infidelity, anger, anxiety, grief and loss, or addiction. Wherever you are, that is the starting line for the rest of your life. That does not mean the rest of your life has to be more of the same. How about a new direction...a new perspective? I may be able to help. The first step is yours. I look forward to your call.

Establishing yourself, and your identity, is a lifelong process. You are not alone when you face questions including: Who am I? What is my purpose? Who do I want in my life? What do I stand for? Why am I here? When we consider these questions, along with countless others branching from these, you might find yourself overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or frustrated. Attempting to navigate this process, you may face societal expectations, dysfunctional family dynamics, economic challenges or other stressors operating against you. While desire to be stable, authentic, and true to self is shared, your story will always be unique.

You are a gift. A miracle. You were born a champion! You were born and brought into this world in pure love. As we experience our life, things happen that cause us to shift from that pure love to emotional discord. As a result, we grow apart from our true self, that pure love. For some, emotional disturbances or conditions develop such as anxiety, depression, anger, negative thinking or self-doubt. I have 25 years experience working with children, adolescents and adults using traditional therapy and cutting edge non-traditional techniques that will help you get you to your goal.

I have treated Anxiety and Panic for over 18 years. I know having panic attacks feels terrible. I can help you. Foremost, I want you to feel listened to and that you can open up. I don't want to make assumptions and so I ask a lot of questions and validate your experience. I also know that sharing vulnerable thoughts and feelings makes us worry that we will be judged or told how to solve a problem. In therapy with me, I am certain you have a lot of tools and strengths. My goal is to access those by looking at what is going on, finding the words to express your experiences, and from there, your own solutions will come forward.

Relationships can be one of the biggest blessings and also one of the biggest stresses in your life. It's amazing how quickly life can get in the way of our relationships and cause chaos in our lives. We have obligations, responsibilities and demands that we have to keep up with, while putting in work to create a successful relationship. It can be exhausting at times and things can fall apart quickly. Therapy can be helpful for not just the couple or family, but the individual.

If you’re reading this, you already have the motivation to heal, the insight to know you need a change and the resourcefulness to seek support. You knew enough to get yourself to this page and I know enough to take you through the journey you may be scared of and yet eager for. Working as a specialist in eating disorders and trauma, I understand the highs and lows of being self-critical to the point of self-punishment, blaming yourself for the situation you are in and being stuck in an endless cycle of overriding your gut instinct in order to please others. Recognize that your intuition got you to these words.

We're all doing the best we can with what we have to work with. However, life is always changing, and the tools we were given in the past, may not be working for us in the present. Counseling can act as a software update for your mind, clearing out old ideas, unprocessed emotion, and beliefs, that are holding you back from reaching your goals. I use EMDR therapy and other evidence-based modalities in my work. If you want to live your life more than think about it, and if you want your past to stop showing up uninvited in the present; then you may benefit from this unique, innovative, and holistic form of therapy.
