A GPS is used to guide us to our destination. It gives us a route to get from the current location to the desired destination. But, the GPS does not tell us about all the obstacles we may encounter along the way or anticipate when we may get distracted and miss a turn. During your journey through life, you may be taken off your path by circumstances you did not foresee or by your own choices. As a result, you also may lose your relationship to self, others, and God.

Has your world been shattered by a deep betrayal in your relationship? Are you unable to sleep or work without countless intrusions by disturbing images from that trauma? Are you feeling waves of heartbreak and paralysis as to what to do next? A deep betrayal often generates a PTSD-type response and requires effective help individually and, as a couple. Anger, sadness and grief can hurt so much it may seem impossible to cope. Friends and families may wish to help but this remains a life-changing decision about what to do next that only you can make.

Therapy is all about healing. Healing from the past, old wounds, thoughts or feelings that aren't serving you anymore. So often, we have learned various ways of living to get through the days, to cope, but it's surviving and not truly living. For most, facing those things seems scary and that fear keeps them from living the life they want. I see my role as a therapist is to foster a space of safety so healing can occur. Through compassion, honesty, and ultimately connection, I work with my clients to help them move towards their best selves.

Overwhelmed? Don't know where to start or even how to reach out for help? Suffering in silence and trying to make it through another day or week? Trauma, high stress, and hopelessness can leave us feeling stuck, lost, and can derail us from achieving the life we intended. Taking that first step to reach out for help can seem daunting, it takes a lot of courage to begin to open up and trust. With over 21 years of clinical experience, I help clients reconnect with what’s most important to them and understand how to overcome each obstacle that's been getting in their way. With each step, you can begin re-building the life you envision.

MEN: We're expected to juggle a lot: work, school, relationships, health, stress, you name! And those things aren’t suppose to bother us. Who established that lie?! For a time we can handle about anything thrown at us and not be phased...till we can't! The facade can only go on for a little while, then, our masks begin to crack. At least that's my story so I get it! We look one way, feel another, all while stuffing what's really going on deep down and out of sight. We WILL begin to unravel and that’s when we turn to the things that help us numb or check-out. In retrospect, they things worked well but now they're just making a mess.

I have worked with individuals and couples for over forty years, helping them to capitalize on their strengths rather than focusing on their problems. I see my role as a co-participant with clients in the therapy process. I seek to enable individuals and couples to develop their inner resources with understanding and caring support. In such a setting, my clients gain the strength and freedom to solve or manage their problems in creative ways.

Whether you're seeking therapy for yourself or your relationship, you may be feeling disconnected, exhausted, embarrassed, angry, or many other emotions. Perhaps you long for better communication, greater intimacy, and rebuilt trust. In addition to working toward re-connection and love in your relationship, sex and sexuality are often difficult to talk about between couples. Creating a judgement-free space where you can explore these thoughts, feelings, and personal values is my highest priority as a therapist.

Children and teenagers often undergo hard changes in their lives that they have little to no control over. Perhaps it is a change due to divorce, loss of a loved one, abuse or problems with peers and school. These difficulties can cause big behaviors that seem overwhelming to kids and cause concerns for their parents. However challenging, these behaviors provide insight into the child’s need for support which can be provided through individual and family counseling. In sessions, clients are engaged in play therapy and given a creative space to process their experiences. Parent consultation is also utilized to support family goals.

Healing is possible! Pain and suffering due to trauma and dysfunctional relationships can weigh you down, leave you feeling empty and defeated, and make it hard to enjoy life. You long to relieve depression and anxiety, truly connect with yourself and others, and make decisions that support your well-being. I specialize in trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, CPTSD, and adult children of dysfunctional families. My passion is helping clients feel safe and empowered so they can find the peace and joy they've been seeking. I can help you break free from shame, feel self-love, set healthy boundaries, and cultivate a fulfilling life.

Are you feeling stressed out, zoned out, or off-balance? Do you feel like you're drowning under the weight of responsibilities, while others seem to be thriving? Have you been using social media, toxic relationships, or substances to numb or distract yourself from the discomfort? I'd love to try and help you find your footing and feel more like yourself again. Most of the clients I work with have a lot more in common than they realize. They are struggling...but they believe they SHOULD be able to manage everything! They believe they are somehow flawed or weaker than others. I want you to know it’s okay to be struggling.
