Life is not easy and in this increasingly disconnected society, we often feel alone even when living among the people that we love. As an experienced therapist, I offer a connection built on honesty, authenticity, and empathy. By developing and fostering this connection, we can face your pain together while also uncovering and challenging blocks that hinder your own ability to heal yourself. I use a variety of modalities to help each person meet his or her goals, though EMDR, IFS and Interpersonal Process Therapy are my most common approaches to treatment.
My clients vary; they may be struggling with addiction, trauma, mood disorders, anxiety, or life transitions. I most commonly work with adults who have addiction disorders, people who suffer from complex trauma often stemming from childhood events, and lastly, those who have suffered the effects of religious trauma and cult situations.
Each client inspires me; it takes a lot of courage to face the difficulties that life hands us. If you are tired of carrying your burdens alone, give me a call or email me and we can set up a virtual appointment.

I have over 15 years of experience helping adults and teens navigate a variety of life's challenges. I began by working primarily with addiction that led into a focus on trauma as these issues often go hand in hand. More recently, I have added a focus on religious trauma and grief.

More important than any theory or treatment modality, I first emphasize establishing a trusting, open and authentic relationship with each client. With a therapeutic alliance established, I then often use Internal Family systems, EMDR, and Inter-personal processing therapy approaches, though this varies widely based on the presenting issues.
