As an accomplished man, you experience the relentless pursuit of perfectionism, leading to overwhelming stress and anxiety. You struggle with feeling alone, with racing thoughts, and sleepless nights. You set high standards, but still find yourself feeling like you have not done enough. You're holding it all in and the pressure is mounting. You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and fear that if you were to set it down, it would all fall apart. You're ready to find more support, closeness, and connection in your relationships. Most of all, you're ready to get to work.

Telehealth Only! I have one rule in session: We have to laugh at least once. Life is hard, work can be stressful, parenting can be chaotic, relationships can be confusing, and sometimes we are just not okay! Therapy can be a place where you learn more about yourself, your family of origin and the world around you. Even though life is hard we can still have peace. With a mindfulness approach, we can help you find your safe place. We can change how you relate to the world and your suffering in a manner that benefits you. In a life that can sometimes be a rollercoaster, we will work together to handle the ups and downs.

Howdy! I'm thrilled that you are starting the process of looking for a therapist! No two people are alike, so I don’t use a cookie-cutter approach to my counseling work. While I pull from multiple modes of therapy, it is common for me to use tools from mindfulness, CBT, biofeedback, IFS, Polyvagal Theory and more. My style is equitable and relational, with previous clients saying that my humorous, laid-back approach to therapy put them at ease quickly. There is no power hierarchy: I am the expert in mental health and you are the expert in your life. We need both to have a successful and productive counseling relationship!

Are you walking on eggshells in your relationship? Do you feel drained and underappreciated as you try to fill your partner's needs? Maybe your family doesn't feel as close and you feel guilty because friends stopped reaching out. You may feel lost and unsure, stopped taking care of yourself, or don't put your needs first.
Are you walking on eggshells in your relationship? Do you feel drained and underappreciated as you try to fill your partner's needs? Maybe your family doesn't feel as close and you feel guilty because friends stopped reaching out. You may feel lost and unsure, stopped taking care of yourself, or don't put your needs first.
In this moment, it feels like life has hit a standstill—be it in school, work, or relationships. Things don't quite resonate as they once did, and thoughts of the past, your strengths, and what propelled you forward occupy your mind. It seems others struggle to grasp your experiences, making communicating your needs feel daunting. Yet, within this pause, there's an opportunity for gentle exploration and understanding. Together, we can navigate these feelings, uncover hidden strengths, and rebuild connections, fostering a path toward personal growth and renewed fulfillment.

I believe there is a higher wisdom within us all, and accessing this place of inner authority is essential to the process of healing and aligning with one’s authentic self. My goal as a counselor is to help you connect with your personal wisdom and unlock your innate ability to heal. My invitation is for you to be curious with me about your experiences as I offer feedback to spark the discovery of your own answers.

I work with people, not labels. It’s about you, not a diagnosis. And it’s about me, not a degree. It becomes about us working together for your goals, whatever those are-I can help. We’re so surprised when we feel something but it “doesn’t make sense”. We “should” ourselves & judge. We waste a helluva lot of time doing this. How often have you tried to think yourself out of a feeling? I know!! Me too. Doesn't work. Together we can figure out how & why you think & feel the way you do. You can't think your way out of depression, anxiety, trauma or anything else. You can talk & feel yourself out, though. Here is what I believe.

My practice is divided between therapy & assessment. I enjoy each and feel privileged to be able to do both - they are mutually enriching. My Ph.D. is from UT Austin. I have a B.S. in Biology (Santa Clara Univ.) and an M.P.A. (George Washington Univ.). I founded the National Organization to Treat A-T, which funds treatment research for a rare disease that my son had. My greatest privilege has been to be Mom to my three children.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them identify, appreciate and cultivate their strengths so they can utilize them in resolving their difficulties. I use a brief therapy approach to treatment, but the length of treatment depends on the nature of the problem and the needs of the client. I work primarily with adults and older teenagers. The therapeutic relationship is an important part of treatment and it is essential that we feel comfortable working together. A brief consultation would help us to determine if the treatment approach and therapeutic relationship might be a good fit for you.
