Welcome! I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming feelings. Trauma comes in many forms and can cause one to feel anxious or overwhelmed. I am here to support you in learning how to feel better and manage overwhelming feelings and thoughts. I will give you tools and help you learn how to cope with your anxiety or overwhelming emotions from whatever challenges you’ve experienced. You also may be struggling with difficulties within a relationship, struggling with coming out to your family, or experiencing the loss of a loved one. I value providing a space for your feelings and worries to grow from the struggles you're experiencing. PARENTS: Are you a new parent and have found it more challenging than you thought it would be? Or are you a parent with a kid who has strong emotions or anxiety and are unsure how to help your child? I work with children and teens who have overwhelming emotions, feel different than others, or feel anxious and down without knowing why. I will help your child learn how to cope with difficult emotions or social situations and give them tools needed for their own unique and specific challenges. I am also here to support you as a parent. We will discuss how to manage specific behavioral problems and how your child can thrive socially and emotionally. I will also collaborate with teachers and schools to make sure your child has the appropriate care and support that is needed. COUPLES THERAPY: I also work with couples (married, dating, gay, straight) who struggle with communicating or feel disconnected with their partner. My goal is for you and your partner to feel fulfilled, loved, and safe within your relationship. Please visit my website for additional information or give me a call for a free consultation! I am excited to speak with you and work with you. *I offer secure, HIPAA compliant video or phone sessions if needed* *I do not accept Medicaid*

Are you wanting different but keep repeating the same patterns? Do you feel stuck? Do you notice yourself feeling alone, withdrawn, andor anxious? Are past relationship wounds feeling impossible to overcome? Are your emotions causing overwhelm? Are you craving deeper connection and meaning in your life and relationships? Relationships are the most powerful and impactful contributor to our lives, and this includes the relationship to self. I help individuals, couples, and families build a more fulfilling and intentional life, working through the barriers that have led to disconnection from yourself and within your relationships by creating new ways to connect to self, others, and their goals. I believe each client has inherent wisdom, resiliency, and resources within themselves, and my job is to help clients tap into that. My goal is to go beyond the symptoms to uncover and address the root issues causing dissatisfaction, bridging the gap between where you are and where you would like to be. I use an integrated approach of emotionally-focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), narrative therapy, and brainspotting. As I strongly believe that true change happens when the nervous system is also addressed, I integrate somatic work in session where possible to build on the mind-body connection. At the core of my work as a relationship therapist is attachment; I view symptoms you are experiencing as adaptions to survive and manage the systems and relationships you've experienced andor are currently in.

We approach the counseling process from a collaborative perspective. We believe a strong therapeutic relationship with you creates a space for deep self-reflection, awareness, and growth. Through humor, metaphors, and experiential activities, we help you develop the ability to engage in the present moment so you can decide whether a behavior is consistent with your values. Through acceptance and mindfulness practices, we identify "how" you think about experiences to help create flexibility in moving toward personal growth and development. Our approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help you effectively address personal life challenges. We integrate complementary methodologies and techniques to offer a personalized approach. With compassion and understanding, we work with each individual to build on their values and strengths to attain personal growth.

Over my decade as a therapist, I have worked with various clients, focusing on grief and loss stemming from life changes and transitions. I believe that our life experiences shape who we are, and to feel whole, we need to examine different parts of ourselves. I help you explore these aspects by assisting you in crafting and narrating your own life story. While I have a strong passion for working with teens and young adults, I am confident in my ability to support individuals at all stages of life. I also acknowledge the impact of trauma on these narratives and believe in the importance of healing from trauma. My goal is to help you navigate your own path. Therapy can be one of the most powerful, terrifying, and enlightening experiences. I see my role as a therapist as one of empathy and guidance, helping you find your own empowerment. I strive to be an engaged and curious therapist, asking thoughtful questions to create a safe environment for you. I often use humor to help us face the difficulties we encounter together. This is your journey, and I am here as a guide, utilizing connection, knowledge, and humor to support you along the way. I would love to set up a consultation call or a first appointment to answer any questions or help you begin your therapeutic journey.

Life has gotten more stressfull. Worries about health, the economy, and how to navigate this new world we are living in start to pile up. Relationships become strained, always together, but hardly any quality time. Can't do the things we used to do for fun. It's tough to see how we get through this. Find ourselves getting angry over little things that never used to be an issue. Avoid things, distract, numb ourselves but the problems are still there. Try to talk about it and then things blow up. Have often thought about counseling, but put it off? Now is the time to invest in yourself - you deserve to be happy! Sometimes we need someone by our side who knows how to get through these tough times! I have years of experience and have helped hundreds of people find happiness and heal their relationships. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I help individuals learn practical skills that they can use for the rest of their lives to create greater fulfillment. In CBT we learn to recognize and change the unhealthy thoughts that make us miserable. You can stop worrying and learn to feel calm. Improve motivation and create postive changes. Feel happy again! CBT is also the key to stopping bad habits and increasing healthy behavior. Learn to have more control over your life and be the person you want to be! In Relationship Coaching, we work as a team to identify your goals and start to dream again. Couples build upon strengths and create the life that they really want. This is not about rehashing the past, its about focusing on changing today for a better future. Increase communication, understand each other better, be united and support each other more fully. Regain passion that has been lost. Change gears and figure out what's next. Start enjoying your life together again!

As a psychologist committed to strength-based approaches, I help clients recognize and utilize their existing knowledge and skills to create better lives. My work with clients both supports and challenges them, affirming who they are, what they believe, and how they think they can change. I take an approach that focuses much more on possibility than pathology, and as such, I help clients find creative ways to approach problems and develop personal stories that fulfill them. I consider it an honor to do the work I do, and I strive to not only respect, but enhance, clients' dignity. Creating professional relationships with clients founded in respect, caring, and a desire for positive outcomes, I utilize a wide range of techniques and theories to help clients reach their goals. I work with clients' natural ways of growing, and help them understand and improve how they think, feel, and act. When clients work with me, they find the strength within themselves to develop into who they want to be. I believe expertise on issues is co-created with clients, and in therapy, I strive for people to experience a wide range of feelings and thoughts, from sadness and longing to laughter and joy, so that they can lead their most fulfilling lives in the world.

Are you struggling to rebuild trust after an affair? If you are the one who strayed, you may be feeling overwhelming shame and a great fear that there is nothing you can do to save your marriage. If you have been betrayed, you may feel that everything you thought was true about your life and your history together is gone. You both may be wondering if there is hope. Maybe you have been working very hard to rebuild but find the pain and fear too overwhelming. Are you deeply worried about these things? If so, I'd like to help. It is important to know you are not alone. Most people who have been betrayed feel rage, have nightmares and panic attacks, and find themselves spending hour upon hour trying to piece together what was happening and when. Most people who have strayed from their vows feel helplessness along with terrible guilt and work doggedly to earn back trust. Many people work hard trying to rebuild their marriage but find themselves bumping into dead end after dead end. There are reasons for this. I'm here to help you navigate the path forward. With affair recovery counseling, I can assist you and your spouse in turning things around. There are no easy answers, but you can learn and master the principles that can guide you toward healing and ultimately toward a life of meaning and happiness. In addition to private affair recovery couples counseling I also offer individual counseling and group counseling for infidelity.
