Sometimes, life becomes overwhelming or seemingly out of control resulting in anxiety, sadness, depression, confusion, anger, or irritability, along with a feeling of being powerless and without options. Factors may be related to work, marriage, parenting, financial stress, addiction, infidelity, symptoms of past traumatic experience(s), and many other things. Is your situation draining your energy or keeping you awake at night resulting in tiredness and fatigue? Is your situation affecting your life in negative ways? I have been helping people discover solutions to these kinds of problems for 25 years. Let me help you today!
I am a certified EMDR trauma specialist, a certified advanced alcohol and drug counselor, and certified sex addiction therapist. I hold state licenses as a Professional Counselor and a Marriage & Family Therapist with 25 years of experience in complex situations. I would be honored to have the opportunity to help you reach your life goals.
Over the past 25 years, clients have repeatedly shared that they feel comfortable with me in my office and therapy context where the most intimate of life details often need to be discussed. And most of all, they feel heard, understood, and helped when they leave. I value this. Make an appointment today. Let's discuss how to improvie your life situation!

In our first session together, I will use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy while talking with you about your current needs and also your life history. I find EMDR protocols and ego-state therapy effective when working with trauma recovery. I use Emotion-Focused techniques to develop emotion coping and self-regulating strategies. Psychodynamic theory and attachment theory are the backbone of my work.
