My counseling approach is based on my belief that we all strive for balance and fulfillment in our lives and crave strong connections with others. When we are faced with certain events, such as stress, loss, trauma, or conflicts in our relationships, we can experience significant emotional distress as we struggle to cope. At times, we may respond in ways that are ineffective or destructive, which only exacerbates our situation. These responses are often shaped by past experiences and we can become “stuck” in these dysfunctional ways of responding. While our past can inform our future, it does not need to define it.

I have also completed additional training in CBT for Psychosis and DBT during my time as a case manager and peer supporter working with folks experiencing homelessness.
You're going through a life change, have gotten some unsettling news, are struggling to cope with - or get - a diagnosis, or desperate to get painful feelings off your chest. Someone else has given you an ultimatum about changing if you want to stay in their life. Patterns from your old self are holding you back. Self-sabotage has made you your own worst enemy. It's a struggle to show up to daily obligations. Or perhaps things are okay, but life could be just a bit better, every day in every way.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you? Maybe anxiety has become exhausting, depression has made it difficult to enjoy life, or you're navigating a major transition and aren't sure what comes next. Whatever brings you to therapy, you don't have to figure it out alone. Change doesn't happen overnight, but with the right support, it is possible to build a life that feels more meaningful, balanced, and aligned with the person you want to be.

Life comes with challenges; at times it feels like they keep piling on, making it difficult not to become overwhelmed. This overwhelm can be magnified when we feel as if we’re facing hardship alone. Powerlessness to make a meaningful difference, despite our best efforts, can be disheartening. During these times the weight of our burdens seem unbearable; the path forward unclear. You don't have to navigate this alone. As your therapist, I'll meet you where you are using a trauma-informed, neurobiologically based approach to help you understand how your brain works, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and build skills for managing distress.

I am trained in both EMDR and clinical hypnotherapy, which provide me with excellent tools to help you to discover the deeper meanings of the issues you are currently dealing with. These modalities enable my clients to see the bigger picture and are excellent tools for releasing trauma, desensitizing old pain and triggers and envisioning a new future. Real and lasting change can only happen when you heal the wound at its source, which can sometimes be deep inside the unconscious mind.

I am accepting new clients.
I work with adults, adolescents, and couples. Individual work is introspective, client-paced, and focused on upgrading aspects of your relationships with yourself, with others and your environment.
Couples work begins with the relationship itself, healthy and productive communication between partners. I use a trauma-informed focus with all my clients. Often the trauma informed perspectives are most useful in relationship work.
Therapy with adolescents usually starts with psycho-education about what’s normal, what’s healthy, and how to navigate or communicate with the environment, parents and peers.

Do you move through life appearing calm and capable, yet inside there’s a quiet ache, a sense that no matter how much you accomplish, peace remains just out of reach? Do the echoes of childhood pain, anxiety, perfectionism, and shame whisper that you must always do more, be more? Does rest feel undeserved, joy slips away too quickly, and the old stories of not being enough still shape how you move through the world? Maybe a recent life change such as a move, a new job, or divorce have activated old wounds and you find yourself more depressed, anxious, and isolated in your own mind?

Approaching Authenticity: Life presents challenges that can feel like barriers to our true selves. Whether struggling to cope with major life changes, managing feelings, substance abuse issues, sense of self, relationships, or "feeling OK in my own skin," we can all benefit from a therapeutic relationship. My role is to help people find perspective, empower people to take steps to make positive change, and provide a safe, supportive atmosphere that is free of judgment. My approach is client-centered, strength-perspective, and I work to create a therapeutic relationship in which people can discover and take actions appropriate to improve one's life.

Psychosis Therapists
What’s the most effective treatment for psychosis?
The most effective treatment for psychosis is coordinated specialty care. In this model, a team of professionals works with a patient to address all aspects of the underlying disorder. This approach incorporates individual or group therapy, employment and education support, family support and education, medication management (which often involves low doses of antipsychotics), and case management to facilitate problem-solving as needed.
When should people seek treatment for psychosis?
People should seek immediate treatment at the earliest indication of psychosis. Symptoms include delusions, hallucinations, disorganized or blocked speech, and agitated body movements. Early signs that a person may be developing a disorder that will lead to psychosis include suspiciousness of others, memory problems and distractibility, an inability to think clearly, rapid or nonsensical speech, withdrawal from friends or family, aggression toward others, and sensitivity to bright lights or noises.
What if psychosis is left untreated?
Without treatment, psychosis can have significant repercussions, including injuries, job loss, homelessness, financial or legal trouble, ruptured relationships, and suffering for the person and their family. While early treatment for psychosis often yields the best results, there is no point past which it becomes useless to seek treatment. At any point, treatment can make a difference.
How do I get someone else to seek treatment for psychosis?
It’s extremely difficult to watch a loved one suffer from hallucinations, delusions, and other elements of psychosis—sometimes exacerbated by their fears of treatment. Have a conversation with them in a quiet space and maintain a calm, supportive tone. Share your concerns about behaviors you’ve observed, suggest treatment, and explain the potential benefits. Listen carefully to their responses. The person may not be ready after one conversation, but with time, they may come around.
