Seeking counseling is a brave step towards mental health and recovery. I provide treatment in a safe, private environment in person or telehealth. As your counselor, I will walk along side you in your journey, providing support and practical tools to meet a variety of life's challenges. My therapy services also include EMDR and treatment for process addictions such as internet, gaming and pornography addiction. I encourage anyone seeking help with depression, anxiety or problems with addiction or family members with addiction to call or email for a consultation.
Ajusting to life changes can be overwhelming. Retirement, empty nest or other changes, there is always hope to find solutions. I work with my clients so that together we find those solutions and develop new skills that can lead to recovery and mental health. I also work with the challenges of the Adult Child of Alcoholic/addiction
When hope is lost, motivation for change is hard. I strive to encourage hope in my client's lives. I provide a safe, confidential environment to explore issues affecting my clients. I encourage anyone seeking help to email or call for a consultation. Let's get started on positive changes in your life.

I can help with anxiety, depression and life changes such as divorce, empty nest or retirement. I use an eclectic mix of cognitive behavior therapy, rational behavior therapy, EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) and brainspotting. Both EMDR and brainspotting can be quicker and less invasive than traditional talk therapy.

Trauma can disrupt the connections between the logical and emotional parts of the brain. This leads to emotions controlling thinking (mostly negative like fear, anxiety) and unhealthy defenses to develop. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, EMDR and Brainspotting are both methods of quickly creating connections in the brain to balance logic and emotions.
