I hold a doctorate in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Neuropsychology from Fielding Graduate University and a master's degree in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and Wilderness Therapy from Naropa University.
Hope is not something that everyone has, but it is something everyone deserves. I work successfully with adolescents and adults to overcome difficult problems including addiction, substance abuse, trauma, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship problems, and overwhelming emotions. My expertise in both psychotherapy and addictions counseling allows me to help people resolve compounding problems though an integrative and effective approach. My passion is working with complex trauma, extremely intense emotions, and addiction. I am committed to helping you feel better, uncover your potential, and achieve meaningful goals.

The modalities I heavily resonate with include parts work or Internal Family Systems work, transpersonal psychology and Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy.
Are you ever sitting in doubt about your ability to handle life’s demands while simultaneously being able to trust that “it’ll be all OK?” Whether it’s career despair, too many financial demands, a relationship, a breakup, a diagnosis, parenting, your family’s wellbeing, doing life “right” by societal standard, where you’re meant to live, etc- the uncertainty of what’s ahead is often all consuming. The gap of what is and what will be is often perceived as very scary terrain. Proper navigation requires skill for internal resilience to take hold amongst the chaos of our angst.

Be it coping with a cancer diagnosis, the aftermath of narcissistic abuse and co-dependency, healing from sexual assault, or dealing with the repercussions of a car accident - these life experiences can profoundly affect us. So often, it's a series of accumulating events that lead to chronic stress, overwhelming our current capacity to manage and cope.

Transformation only happens in relationship. The absence of a relational home for transformation generally leads to superficial temporary changes. We make ourselves stuck by building walls of protection around us, which probably made perfect sense at the time. However, walls of protection eventually become walls of constriction. These walls lead us to the illusion of having no choices in our situation, to the belief that life is happening to us, instead of what is true, that we are living our lives and making choices of how we live life.

I know no better medicine than to help each other feel seen, accepted, and made to feel safe. Humans are pack creatures, that tend to do better in pairs and groups. However our skills to authentically and securely attach have become illusive in today's world. Through building real connection with your therapist, you can find real insight, real healing, and true growth. I also work in the CDOC (in prison) with violent offenders, and those with serous criminal history. I think you'll find there's no issue I'm not equipped to deal with. Been practicing for 15 years, and I've helped all walks of people.

Breaking through the barriers. What keeps you from true happiness and living the life you truly love? Perhaps you are in an unfulfilling intimate relationship that is not meeting your needs, or you desire a long-term meaningful partnership but keep finding that area to be a struggle. Are friendships and community challenging? Is your relationship with your family or particular family members in conflict? Often it is a need to learn to cope with difficult emotions such as anxiety and fears, negative thinking or challenging relationships that keep you from experiencing a life of joy and happiness.

Transpersonal Therapists
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilize the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
