*NOT accepting new clients until May.* My specialty is helping clients notice old patterns that keep them stuck. Once we accept & understand our experience, then we can work towards change. Most people may not realize the root cause of their constant worry, panic or sadness, that's why I'm here to help so we can both discover what's holding you back from feeling healthy. CBT, mindfulness, EMDR & psychodynamic therapy are approaches that can help us become aware of areas that keep us stuck. Healing our hurts opens us to new ways of thinking & responding to life, inviting us to notice possibilities rather than limitations.

Anxiety and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can be extremely debilitating, potentially causing strain or loss of relationships, loss of opportunities, restrictions and limitations on activities and daily life, negative impact on health, nightmares, flashbacks, and many other life altering effects. You may find yourself avoiding certain places, people, or memories. You may re-experience your trauma through nightmares and flashbacks. You may be easily startled, have difficulty sleeping, or have angry outbursts. There is hope. You do not have to live this way any longer. You can achieve peace of mind.

A common phrase I hear is "I just feel stuck." The people who say that know there is something better out there, but they don't know how to move in that direction. My role is to help you better understand yourself and make the most of who you want to be. Many people reach out because their lives seem to lack meaning, they don't feel worthwhile, they find some challenges overwhelming, or they just don't seem to feel joy from their relationships or activities. That's where we begin the work.

I have been in the psychology field for nearly two decades. Therapy is a process of sharing concerns, problems, ideas, questions and decisions.

My top priority is to provide a safe and nurturing counseling environment where my clients feel supported as they learn and grow. I blend several different counseling techniques together in a manner that fits each client's specific needs. Through careful listening and understanding, I guide my clients in examining their current and past attitudes, feelings, beliefs, thoughts, and choices and collaborate with each client to determine how these are affecting their day-to-day lives. Together, we create a plan to work through these issues, and I challenge and support my clients as they make positive choices and changes.
