I work with people who want more for their lives-whether that's more happiness, more peace, more self-confidence, more enjoyable relationships, etc. I am a laidback person who prefers cozy sweaters and comfy shoes. When you come to my office, I want you feel comfortable and cared about. You're not "another client" to me. I am definitely involved. I am not the counselor on tv who sits there and says "mmhmm, mmhmm, see you next week." I am going to jump in and explore with you. I am going to help you feel better and enjoy life.

Neurofeedback: all ages welcome! Therapy: I see only adult individuals. I have a passion for treating trauma and I love doing in-depth work with people. If you are interested in treating the cause of your symptoms and not just managing or coping with them, then I may be your person. Shifting to a calmer inside translates to a higher self-esteem and has a domino effect on improving all your relationships as well as decreasing depression and anxiety. You might be surprised how much trauma is responsible for how we feel about ourselves and how we live our lives.

All people struggle at some point in their lives. Each of us has difficulty managing, especially when life throws us a curve ball – like a diagnosis of chronic illness, failure in school or work, a relationship that blows up or the death of a loved one. Times like these can leave us feeling lost and alone. We may even have thoughts like “I’m a failure” or “I will never get over this”. I understand. And I want you to know that I can help. I can help you feel better, find your joy and live the healthiest life possible.

A variety of issues can be treated through sex therapy, including low libido, trauma history, performance anxiety, difficulty achieving orgasm, infidelity, compulsive sexual behavior, and changes in sexual function due to phase of life or medical conditions. There are many sexual challenges that can be successfully navigated with the help of counseling and education.

My approach is both directive and accepting. I am a client-centered therapist. I can help solve problems that can take years to resolve on their own by teaching new skills and giving homework to practice in between sessions. At the same time I allow clients to dictate the goals, pace, and intensity of their counseling sessions. I don't fix people. I look for what is going right and help you or your relationship do more of it.

Is anxiety exhausting you? Are your fears and worries getting in the way of your professional life? Do you want to feel more calm, confident, and competent? Whether it's chronic stress or sudden panic attacks, anxiety can make it hard to face the day. But let's not forget about nighttime - waking up at 3am with thoughts you can't shut off can be frustrating and debilitating, both emotionally and physically.

What would life be like if you could spend more time doing what really matters instead of just making it through the day and surviving? Have you experienced hard things in your past that still affect you today, and you wish that would change? Do you feel that sharp twinge in your chest when you think about just how far away you are from the relationships you want? If you have ever struggled with motivation, meaning, a difficult childhood, or a relationship that has lost its fire and hope, you understand how painful and gray the world can be when life isn't working.
