Welcome! I am open and affirming to all adults. My office is physically challenged accessible, as I believe all should have equal opportunities. I practice Holistic Psychotherapy, helping you connect your past events to your present day behaviors, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helping you turn your negative thoughts into positive ones, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, which helps you accept the present moment for what it is. Talk Therapy is also important to purge our feelings in a safe space, while learning strategies. I also offer Spiritual counseling for those struggling in the awakening process.

Congratulations on taking a step towards change and feeling better! I have had the honor of working with individuals, couples and families in residential and outpatient settings and have witnessed people change and reach unique and individualized goals. I use a variety of techniques such as experiential, CBT, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt and psychoeducational modalities. I use EMDR to help clients recover from traumatic, disturbing and shame-based memories. I help clients find the motivation to change their unsatisfying patterns by empowering them to identify, express and prioritize needs and to stay focused on their goals.

I am a licensed professional counselor, and board certified art therapist. I use a person-centered approach to my practice, incorporating psychotherapy and art therapy, to personalize sessions to meet my client's specific needs and goals. I believe in a therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and non-judgement. Art therapy allows for exploration of creative process which helps to promote wellness, increase insight, foster resilience, and develop new coping skills. No previous art experience is required.

As a certified hypnotherapist I have the pleasure of helping people achieve goals that previously have been elusive. People of all ages can benefit from hypnosis, from very young children to the elderly. Almost everyone is familiar with the use of hypnosis to quit smoking but all situations, from anxiety relief, weight control, pain management, addictions, autoimmune disorders to childbirth can be improved with hypnotherapy. Since our sessions are totally relaxing, clients enjoy being hypnotized and find it a pleasant way to bring about changes in their lives.

I am committed and passionate about my work in helping others reach their full potential. I am trained to work with couples, families and individuals. I have experience in helping couples work through issues of infidelity, betrayal, intimacy, and conflict resolution. I help couples identify their relationship identity through honest communication and vulnerability. I believe in the power of all relationships and how it affects the quality of our lives. When working with individuals I use a systemic lens, in which I see the individual in the context of their relationships, major life events, ethnicity, culture, religion & sexuality.

I specialize in the treatment of psychological trauma. Treatment is intense, and all participants must have sufficient social supports and self-care regimens in place. EMDR is the primary treatment modality and is supplemented by others. Although addictions are commonly affiliated with trauma, I do not treat addictions. I offer video or phone sessions and group workshops via video-conferencing. Note: Please do not seek treatment with me if you plan to pursue disability compensation. Those cases are best substantiated by MDs or PhD psychologists. I am neither.

We serve children, adolescents, individuals, couples, and families. Whether they are just starting out in life, or well established, our clients want more from life. More happiness, more love, more freedom to be the best person they can be. We help our clients accomplish this by changing unwanted behaviors and healing painful emotions from life's unexpected crises, or wounds from the past. Our psychotherapy is strength-based, solution-focused and psychodynamic.

Choosing a therapist is very personal decision. It can be about basics such as location and insurances accepted. But it also is about having a supportive therapist that is committed to help you through whatever challenges you face. It can be difficult to make the decision to enter into therapy. I do my best to make it a supportive and comfortable place that is nonjudgmental.

We will focus on what you have learned about yourself, beliefs you have about yourself and the world around you, rather than specific events.

As a therapist I feel honored to support and be with others in their evolution through emotional and relational challenges to a place of greater wisdom and connection with themselves and others. All humans deserve and need a safe place to explore our inner worlds, identifying areas for growth, learning new skills to approach challenges, and receiving support on our unique healing journeys. I believe deep transformation and liberation are possible when people feel supported by a caring and grounded therapist who is not only experienced and skilled but also genuine and committed to their own growth as a person.

My practice draws from over 15 years of working as a psychotherapist in the mental health and addiction field. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) with a national and international certification as a Co-Occurring Disorders Professional Diplomat (CCDP-D). In addition, I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBTC) through the DBT National Certification Accreditation Association and trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing).

Life is full of uncertainties and sometimes we can get "stuck" in patterns that no longer serve us or our relationships. If you are struggling to see your potential or your path to healing, let me help you find the key. There is hope. You've done the first step by recognizing that something is no longer working for you. Now, you are seeking help and it does not have to be done alone.

The Humanistic approach has and continues to be the form of therapy that most closely matches my sense of the world and how human beings exist within it. Based on the fundamental concept of the power of human growth, it speaks to me of hope and of personal power. Through the identification of individual strengths and the development of empowering coping skills change is possible and issues related to trauma, loss and addiction can be effectively addressed.

I rely on 37 years of experience working with individuals, families and groups. I have a strong background in treating adolescents, LGBT issues, trauma, women in transition, couples, caretaker self care, depression and anxiety. I have experience in substance abuse prevention and treatment of those struggling with recovery. I enjoy working with motivated clients invested in change and growth. I also find the challenge of working with those brave souls taking on psychotherapy for the first time, rewarding.
