Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.

As a therapist/teacher I ask that my clients be willing to grow. Growth can look many ways, but always involves practice. The people who take what they learn in sesh, practice it with insight, vulnerality, openness, and some diligence, they get the brilliance, sometimes very trying, and grace of somatic and relational transformation.

You have been through a trauma, loss. Something so painful it defies words. You are looking for more than coping tools (although some of that is good!), you are looking to feel better and create meaning from these hard experiences. You want to leave painful experiences behind but you find yourself reacting intensely to things in a way that makes you realize that your pain gets activated more than you want it to. You’re ready to both develop insight and coping tools and release your pain from your nervous system. I am a certified EMDR provider and completed coursework as a Certified Mental Health Integrative Medical Provider.

I specialize in treating adults who have been diagnosed with eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating), anxiety, depression, and substance-use disorders. I also have a wide range of experience with active-duty Service Members and Veterans, particularly trauma survivors struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), sexual assault, and moral injury.

I help people who have experienced trauma gain feelings of peace and freedom. Feelings such as anxiety, numbness, and physical exhaustion are what I want to help you deal with and transform. Do you feel like a piece of you was hurt or broken, and now you can't connect with your true self? Perhaps these negative reactions you are having seem to continually affect your life. My goal is to help you have a better chance of reaching your whole self. The scars of your past do not need to effect your future. I want to help you repair and heal that piece of you that was hurt from your trauma.

Do you feel stuck in your anxiety, depression, addiction, or trauma? I find we can’t fix what you don’t understand. That is where I come in. I am here to provide you with a safe space to help you understand and connect to the root of the issue, learn good coping techniques, and connect emotions for true healing utilizing different techniques that fit your needs.

As a psychologist, writer, and trauma survivor, it's my passion and privilege to help others overcome life-changing tragedies. I'm dedicated to helping people make sense of the painful experiences that have shaped their lives. Over decades of education and personal exploration, I've had the good fortune to put together some of the essential pieces in life's puzzle. My new book, "Daddy" —which the The San Francisco Chronicle calls "“a thoughtful and expansive biography of PTSD” and “a compelling narrative of familial history"— draws from these experiences to explore violence, identity, and personal and collective trauma in America.

My practice is focused on relationship issues, improving communication, addiction counseling, men's issues, LGBTQ+ parenting, depression and anxiety. In therapy you will find a strength-based client centered approach, where your unique skills and values are used to help overcome the areas in which you are stuck. A genuine respect for each person leads to a safe therapeutic alliance through which growth, healing and connection occurs as we work towards accomplishing your goals.

Being a human is both breathtakingly beautiful and unbelievably messy. Oftentimes, living into this bothness can stir up feelings of anxiety, fear, sadness, and confusion. I work to help people untangle and honor the messy, scary, sad, and confusing areas of their lives and shine light into the hope, joy, and resilience that is also present in those moments. We do this by creating new relationships and responses to the hard feelings that show up, so those that once seemed overwhelming now seem manageable.

Are you ready for deeper healing than talk therapy? I am currently practicing Brainspotting/EMDR treatment to provide the deepest brain-based healing which goes much further than plain talk therapies. I specialize in trauma, first responders, depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder and other diagnosis which inhibit you from living you best life.

Coming to therapy can feel vulnerable and scary, but it is a brave step towards the life you want and deserve. I am guided by evidence based techniques, educated insight, and genuine curiosity. I work to nurture my clients’ sensitivities, strengths, hopes, and desires for a meaningful and fulfilling existence. I help individuals tap into their inner strength and thrive, to connect to their passions, couples seeking effective communication techniques and highly sensitive people understand their trait and harness their superpower! I support individuals from diverse backgrounds and sexual orientations, navigate cultural challenges

Do you find yourself struggling to thrive in your day to day life due to a trauma you have experienced in the past or recently? Do you feel stuck and want to move forward, but aren't sure how? Do you want to feel well and whole again, or maybe for the first time ever? I love to guide people on the road to healing from their trauma by teaching them how to tune into their whole self - mind, body, soul, and spirit - in order to help them find reconnection and restoration. I believe that we all have the potential to heal and reset our lives when provided a safe place to process, reclaim our autonomy, and become empowered.

I am looking to work with individuals and couples that have managed to weather the storms of life but not without bumps, bruises, and scrapes. I want to work with couples that can't seem to communicate without arguing, that have difference styles of parenting, whose trust have been broken by moments of infidelity or lives impacted by medical and mental illness. I specialize in helping individuals and couples renew, rejuvenate, restore, or rebuild their relationships.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, addiction, relationship struggles, or generally missing something in life? Feeling stuck in an endless cycle of procrastination, fears about the uncertainty of the future, or guilt, shame and resentments from the past? If so, you are not alone! Many people spend their entire lives in this mental and emotional agony and that doesn't have to be you. Overcoming these challenges can be difficult on your own, working with a licensed professional may save you years of learning by trial and error. You can overcome and balance the emotional and behavioral impediments in your life.
