Life can be overwhelming; we can feel lost, aimless, and alone as we try to determine where we fit in. Maybe school, friends, family, or the expectations placed on you feel like too much. You feel like you should have it all figured out and be put together, but you just keep coming up short. Throw in the noise of the world around you and it's no wonder so many are anxious or confused. You want a better way of managing stress and navigating relationship struggles. You want to be seen and understood, and to have a sense of peace. You want to find a place you can really be yourself, and maybe even figure out what that means.

Do you understand how a wound heals? Think about it. First, the pain needs to be acknowledged. Next, it needs to be tended to and stabilized. Then, the work of healing from within can begin. I believe in the significance of this understanding because, no matter what pains life may offer, we all possess an innate capacity to acknowledge, grow, and inspire change in our lives. We also need someone who is on our side, willing and committed to providing the conditions needed to feel safe and comfortable to express, explore, and heal from our struggles. Only then can we learn to lean into change.

I have 28 years experience with Sexual Addiction, Marriage Counseling, EMDR, PTSD, Betrayal Trauma Recovery as well as Depression, Anxiety and Anger. I have worked with addicts struggling with pornography, affairs, lust and all other integrity issues for the last 28 years as well as on my own recovery journey. I know recovery from a personal perspective. I help clients understand their own wounds, shame cycles and patterns of unhealthy behaviors, while offering encouragement, hope, and practical solutions. I also help partners who have been betrayed by sexually compulsive behaviors through full disclosure and reconciliation.

In therapy, I enjoy helping kids and adults try a new approach of care and healing that targets both emotional processing and regulating the nervous system. I partner with parents to help their child improve anxiety, process life transitions, and overcome various behavioral issues. With adults, I help with trauma healing, anxiety, and relational roadblocks such as people-pleasing, social anxiety and codependency. Other areas I focus on include family of origin issues, OCD, and abuse recovery. I've also had the unique opportunity to help families find their new normal after life-altering tragedies.

Intimacy is often impeded by an inability to know your self or to see yourself accurately. Often we loose that sense of self in relationships which then promotes agitation and depression. We then take on addictive behaviors to avoid feeling reality. Difficulties in childhood often does not equip us with the skills of boundaries which is the only thing that helps to maintain a sense of who we are while remaining connected in a relationship. I can help you develop the skills of being relational and still be you.
