Life’s challenges can often feel overwhelming, from the pressures of anxiety and depression to the weight of chronic illness, life transitions, and relationship issues. I’m here to support teens, adults, and couples in navigating these hardships with authenticity and compassion. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to work collaboratively toward your personal goals.

Sometimes our problems and pain are too much for us to manage on our own. I can help people understand their relationships with others and manage the challenges in their lives. My clients find me easy to talk to: I believe I know when to be quiet and when people need my help to talk about their suffering and struggles. Together my clients and I identify the troublesome patterns in their relationships - professional and personal - and figure out how to change those patterns. Sometimes I am there just to be with people as they acknowledge and bear what cannot be changed.

In the heart of every problem lies its solution. We spend enormous amounts of time and energy searching for answers outside ourselves, when the answers lie within. Heartwork is a creative process, which teaches one to find fundamental solutions to both everyday problems and the more difficult life questions, transforming "problems" into doorways to compassion, insight and joy. My award-winning book, "Heartwork: How To Get What You Really, REALLY Want" gives one my orientation and the primary tools for working through one's issues. The e-book version can be downloaded at my website: www.awakentheheart.org.

Counseling can be a responsive process, as clients receive support and work toward an understanding of how present-day concerns may relate to past experiences. It can also be a preventive process, allowing clients to clarify and build on their own internal strengths that promote balance, wellness, and resiliency. My treatment approach is both cognitive-behavioral (focused on the links between events, thoughts, feelings, and actions) and psychoeducational (promoting the building of social and emotional skills). From a foundation of self-awareness, we can collaborate to expand your coping strategies and improve your relationships.

Relationships and trauma are my focus. I work with couples and individuals to help create more security in how people relate to themselves and those around them. I have a substantial capacity for being present with people working with extreme emotions and painful conflict; providing insight and modeling compassion. Blending therapeutic approaches with mindfulness and grounding techniques, I focus on the here and now to help clients recognize and work on their patterns as they arise in the moment. My experience addressing the socialization of men in our culture and masculinity issues also aid the self-discovery and healing process

There are many complexities that can make the therapy processes overwhelming. This can be a challenge to navigate, and my goal as a therapist is to help you through authenticity and open communication/dialogue. Whether you're looking for processing, skills work, evaluations, problem-solving for everyday stress, or are experiencing major life events, trauma or any combination, we can explore your goals collaboratively. I believe in utilizing an integrative, client-centered approach that's informed through elements of systems theory, anti-oppressive theory, gender theory, intersectional feminism, and trauma-informed care.

As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients become mindful of who they are & uncover their true potential to foster a life that is worth embracing. When we work together we can't change difficult situations of the past, but we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life to prevent reoccurring patterns of negative family dynamic, stress-related struggles, self-esteem, addictions, trauma, & fears that may be holding you back from experiencing a meaningful life. If you're looking for support or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you.

I’ve provided traditional talk therapy for many years and I am excited to offer a different approach! Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an innovative approach that combines the use of ketamine with therapy to facilitate healing and therapeutic breakthroughs. KAP has been shown to be effective in treating various issues, especially when traditional treatments have been unsuccessful. Ketamine helps clients explore their thoughts, emotions, and traumatic experiences more deeply, while I support and heal with the psychotherapy piece in a safe space. PLEASE note: this is a specialized service as an adjunct to your current therapy

Not interested in ERP? There is another option! I offer Inferenced-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for OCD, another evidence-based approach that looks more at demystifying and disengaging with OCD rather than exposures! Anxiety is something we all experience, but let’s be honest, having intense anxiety is not fun! It often gets in the way of doing things that we want to do! My passion is to help others, people like you and I, begin the journey of working through anxiety (OCD, generalized anxiety, panic, illness anxiety, phobias), toward the life they want to have.
