I have a passion for helping people achieve a higher quality of life. I am trained in Dialectical and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. My practice, Williams Therapeutic Solutions, LLC embodies what I help clients do, which is bring balance and enjoyment back into their life.

If addiction has taken over your life, now is the time to do something about it. Life is too short to be unhappy. I offer a warm, confidential environment to help you find the clarity you need to break the cycle of addiction so you and those around you may lead happier lives. I also offer help for co-occurring issues: mood regulation, anxiety, anger management, trauma, and high functioning autism. I am trained in EMDR, Mindfulness Practices and Stress Reduction. In addition, I frequently work in consultation with other therapists' clients, providing EMDR and substance abuse assessments and treatment.

Who would you be without the burdens you carry? Whether you are struggling through a crisis, experiencing a loss, or dealing with anxiety, depression, or addiction, you don't have to fight through it alone. Life events often create mental and emotional blocks that keep you feeling stuck. Together we will identify issues, dysfunctional patterns of behavior, maladaptive coping mechanisms, and other barriers that are preventing you from being where you want to be. We will start with where you are right now and build on your strengths so you can begin or resume living the life you want.

In addition to being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and Certified Yoga Instructor. I am passionate about employing mindfulness and bodyfulness techniques to help you regain the equilibrium that trauma steals and restore your sense of control in this chaotic world. Along the way, you’ll learn to read your body’s messages instead of fearing them and pushing them away.

Let’s work together to explore strategies and resources that can support your mental health and develop a personalized plan so you can start feeling better! Our Services Include: Individual Therapy, Couples Counseling, Family Therapy, Grief Therapy, In-Person and Virtual Sessions, and More.

Inevitably we all encounter profound disappointments and trauma in our life-time. The resulting pain which lingers, may cause physical or emotional symptoms such as confusion, excessive anger, fear, anxiety, and/or depression. Such symptoms make achieving one's life's goals difficult. The goal of psychotherapy is to relieve these debilitating symptoms. Working with adult individuals, I create an environment that facilitates an honest and open exchange between patient and therapist. My goal is to identify the source of symptoms and to increase my patient's quality of life by restoring a sense of balance of body and mind.

You have already made the first step in a what can be a very overwhelming process. Deciding to enter therapy and finding the right therapist is difficult. I want to ensure you that I will listen to your issues and help you develop appropriate coping strategies. I will provide a safe environment that promotes a comfortable atmosphere. My goal is to utilize my mental health and addiction experience to ease your pain and increase your well being.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the treatment of adults suffering from anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, & substance abuse difficulties. I work from an evidence-based framework with emphasis on mindfulness practice, acceptance of difficult internal experiences, and valued-based living to increase quality of life. This approach to treatment is known as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). ACT proposes that painful human experiences and life's struggles are all inevitable, and teaches how to learn acceptance of inevitable human difficulties and continuing to live a rich and meaningful life.

People seek therapy for many reasons. Perhaps you are in a crisis, confronting a life transition (divorce, retirement, death, illness, empty nest, new relationship), having difficulty coping with work stress, using/abusing substances, or "feeling stuck" and unable to make positive life changes. I believe that most of us have blind spots - emotional patterns or behaviors that can get in the way of our healing or fully exploring life’s challenges and opportunities. My role is to provide clinical insight and guidance that is collaborative and respectful, supporting your unique journey toward recovery and growth.

At The Sexuality, Attachment, and Trauma Project, we provide identity-affirming care for all communities. Our patients are people, not problems, and we work with each person differently. We treat a range of issues related to sexuality and gender. These include out-of-control sexual behavior, sometimes labeled sex addiction (although we’re not fans of labels). Patients also come to us for intimacy anxiety, sexual compulsivity, gender and orientation confusion, LGBTQ+ issues, and family trauma.

People often come to me because they recognize something is not working and they are willing to admit that it is no longer fruitful to simply try to figure it out on their own. They are open to self-reflection, new ideas for coping, self-care, and communication with others. People present with all kinds of issues: depression and anxiety, relational struggles, difficulty connecting to what they want and following through on goals, unresolved trauma from the past or present, the use of coping mechanisms that had been helpful, but no longer are, and challenges posed by various life-stage transitions. We all need support in hard times.

Do you feel like jittery, like your nerves are on fire? Are you constantly on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop? These could be signs that you are struggling with the aftermath of stress or trauma. You feel exhausted and debilitated by these sensations. But there's hope.

I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in trauma therapy and perinatal mental health. With over 15 years of experience and a deep passion for helping individuals overcome the effects of trauma, I am committed to providing a safe and compassionate space for healing and growth. My treatment approach is supportive and empathic, yet challenging, as a way to reach your treatment goals.

Recovery is not a solitary journey; it is about connection with self and others. As we enter into the process of therapy you will have the opportunity to experience inner connection and awareness leading to Self expansion and outer growth. I believe strongly that our primary task is to continue your journey of self exploration; to seek the wealth of potential, strength, compassion, understanding, and openness that lies within. It is your ability to connect with these that will serve as your greatest asset in obtaining whatever goals you have coming into therapy.

The pain of addiction, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and low self-esteem arises from life experiences and toxic environments. These wounds remain when we are not provided with the support and help we need for our healing to take place. My integrative approach will examine how your family, gender, sexual orientation, race, and beliefs have impacted who you are today.

Do you ever have the feeling that if you could talk to someone you would feel less anxious, worried or depressed about a situation or issue? Do you ever feel that perhaps, if someone would listen to your concerns and "get it", you might be able to make "sense out of nonsense"? My clients are the drivers, directors and deciders of their talk sessions. You bring your areas of concern to the table and in a safe and trusting setting we join hands in a collaborative effort to make "sense out of nonsense". Pieces of the puzzle start to fit.

Spiritual, Traditional, Psychotherapy. I support and guide you, helping you unravel the deeper truth of your life experiences-helping you finally heal the wounds that have kept you from fully living your life's true purpose. You will learn to instinctively heal issues that have continually gotten in the way of your being the person you were born to be. My treatment focuses on trauma, addictions, anger issues, relationship issues and issues dealing with faith and spirituality. I use an analytical process, and often include EMDR, guided meditation, breath work and yoga movements.

Join me on a journey of self discovery and empowerment.

I love my work and continue to learn so much from the courageous people I work with as they struggle to make changes in their lives. I have 30+ years of experience working with individuals and couples. My treatment approach may include psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.

My expertise is helping people with complex issues get strong and move beyond the their past. I offer a deeply compassionate, non-judgmental presence, so clients can feel safe, hopeful and heal.
