I work with all ages helping individuals and families with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, PTSD/trauma, self-worth, abuse, childhood trauma, abortion recovery, ADD/ADHD, sleep disorders, cognitive functioning (such as Dyslexia,) headaches, brain injuries, conduct disorders, athletes, anger, cutting, eating disorders, and unhealthy or broken relationships.
I understand through personal loss and struggles, the realness of living in a broken world. However, I have also experienced the internal transformation of hope, courage, and wholeness. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, who is trained in EMDR, Neurofeedback, and Play/Art/Music Therapy. I believe in meeting others where they are and walking beside them, especially when challenges, struggles, or lack of hope hinder our ability to live life to the fullest. I make every effort to create a genuine, safe, non-judgmental, relationship with others. Regardless of their spiritual or religious beliefs.

With the rise of social media and all the pressures teens face today, it can be extremely difficult to know how to help when you see your child hurting or struggling. Let's face it, kids are growing up in a different world and in complicated times. Many loving parents want to act, but fail to do so because they either don't know how to help, where to start, or who to trust. This is where I come in. I would love to help you and your family find new solutions, have better communication, and discover a pathway to a stronger relationship as well as a more hopeful future.

Choosing to change—to rekindle passion and purpose—with the help of a therapist is hard work. So, thank you for being here; let’s see if I might be a good fit. My goal is to share skills and to help process whatever is keeping you from experiencing a sense of wholeness that connection to your passions and purposes brings. While I see people of all ages, I tend to work with teenagers and adults and with those experiencing grief, suffering from trauma, or facing existential/identity turmoil. Outside of counseling, I am a bookworm with a particular taste for sci-fi or philosophy, and I delight in restoring vintage or antique items.

For most of us, living a life without pain and suffering is the ultimate goal. Oftentimes, we try to change or control everything in our external environment to find peace and happiness within ourselves. We may change jobs, move to a new city, or seek out new relationships – only to find that our pain and suffering still exist. As a result, we feel hopeless or powerless over our lives and may resort to destructive behavioral patterns to cope with our emotions. Over time, we may realize that – no matter where we go, or what we do – we are always left facing ourselves.

Life can be stressful and overwhelming. I enjoy working with people to develop more coping skills and helping them process what is going on in their lives.

I want to help others be able to enjoy their lives more and not feel stressed and overwhelmed by what they face. I believe therapy needs to be practical and useful in their daily lives.

Self-Harming Therapists
How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
