For 30yrs, I have had the distinct privilege of working with hundreds of traumatized clients, couples, & fellow mental health professionals. Though many are shattered by grave emotional injuries, they find a way to rise up, face themselves and others, heal bravely, and transform their lives. With my clients, I hope to forge a close, safe, & collaborative relationship where clients may achieve significant emotional growth. To do so, clients & I identify treatment strategies that heal wounds, resolve symptoms, change behaviors, cultivate a strong voice, revive joy, engage authenticity, & support courageous, wholehearted living.
For years, I suffered C-PTSD and mood disorder myself, and with the help of my therapists, I have gratefully achieved a measure of healing. As I journey on, it is my great pleasure to help couples and individuals find their way past the abuse and tragedy that holds them back in relationships to find harmony, whole-heartedness, wisdom, peace, and love.
Though I have often worked with couples and individuals who have experienced trauma, I also enjoy working with fellow mental health professionals and clients suffering with other issues. I have worked extensively with infidelity and sexual issues, relational skills, life adjustment issues, end-of-life issues, chronic mental illness, and mood disorders.

During a session, I move from one therapeutic modality to another as I work to find a modality that is helpful to you in the moment. Often, I will give you a brief explanation of the modality in use so we build a common vocabulary and you may self-study therapies you find especially helpful. I encourage mind-psyche (soul) awareness as we work together & offer resources to practice new skills.
