I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders as well as life adjustment issues. I am also certified in clinical hypnosis to treat weight loss, smoking, sleep, confidence, and pain management. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist in the mental health field. Although I have much experience and knowledge as a therapist, I believe people won't care how much you know until they know how much you care. We all need to be seen, heard, and understood, and so much healing happens then. I believe in the mind/body/spirit connection and I individualize my approach with each unique person.

I am a strength based, future-foused clinician who facilitates therapy as an experiential process. I enable clients to access their own personal history of learnings and achievements while guiding them to create future memories of success. I incorporate mindfullness, hypnnotic zone exercises, and solution-focused/strategic therapies to help clients become smart enough to know when to stop thinking. What-iffing, Why-ing, and Self-Criticizing clients are welcome to experience a peak performance therapy that allows them to access, reconnect with, and be their best self. I also work extensively with athletes, corporate professionals, and performers.

Utilizing multiple treatment approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, certified as a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Informed clinician, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified in Mindfulness Awareness, Neuro-Linguistic Programing, and utilizing Emotional Freedom Technique, (EFT) I assist adults, late teens, couples, and families to find solutions to better regulate their emotions, language, belief system, and perceptions of life challenges. Specialities include Depression, Anxiety, Substance Abuse, Codependency, Relationship Conflict, and Brief Solution Focused work with work and relationship conflict.

I have more than 25 years of clinical experience, helping people grow, heal, and transform their lives. I have worked extensively with adults who have grown up in addictive/abusive/dysfunctional families, as well as adults who are experiencing here - and - now life challenges. I welcome clients who are struggling with issues of self-esteem, relationship difficulties, compulsions/addictions, disordered eating, depression, illness/pain, and anxiety. When someone is ready to embark on the journey of healing, I am honored and privileged to join in that journey with my skill, expertise, and compassionate presence.

I work with clients suffering from CPTSD, depression or anxiety. My focus is on helping people process and move through old issues by eliminating the emotions attached to those events by using EFT or Energy Psychology which I've been using for 22 years. I believe that therapy should be a positive experience and that you should look forward to that healing process. I also use hypnosis for numerous issues.

Personal peace starts with a shift in perspective. There is nothing wrong with you. Your life is designed to help you, not block you, in developing confidence, loving boundaries and an open heart. Our work, including elements of forgiveness, grief and personal empowerment, gives you permission to have compassion and support for yourself first, no matter what messages the world and your childhood have trained you to believe. Life happens FOR us, not TO us. I do understand, I have tools to help and I am committed to your peace of mind.

I love being a counselor and a teacher. I like helping people figure out what they want from their life and how to make the changes and tap into the resources to make that happen. To learn how to create balance in every area. One of my favorite expressions is people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. The reason I became a counselor is to help make a difference one person at a time.

Health and healing are journeys. We are always honored when clients ask us along on their journey towards recovery from the trauma or devastation robbing them of the ability to trust themselves or others. If you seek improvements, in any area of your life, let's work together to identify your passions and possibilities, map and monitor your progress, and manage the dynamics that keep you stuck. You, too, can heal from trauma and addictions, manage difficult relationships (see our website for approach to couples & pre-marital counseling), surmount career set-backs & improve your self-esteem with insight and guidance.

Transform your life. Stop the struggle. Manage your stress, grief, anxiety, depression, loneliness and fear. Discover love, hope, peace, and inner strengths and resources to achieve the life you desire and deserve.

My approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, kindness, and respect. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you can share your feelings freely. My eclectic therapeutic style draws from several evidenced-based modalities, including Rogerian, Narrative, Family Systems, and DBT.

Live with courage... Have the courage to become who you are truly meant to be. Empowered with validation and motivation people are capable of transforming their lives. Authenticity, awareness, compassion, hope, and gratitude – cultivate these qualities in yourself and your relationships to bring peace, happiness, harmony, joy, and a sense of satisfaction to your soul and life. Connect with your inner wisdom to find the answers you need to create the change you want. Don’t let precious years go by – give yourself the gift of beginning or continuing your journey now.

If you find discord between different parts of yourself and between you and people or situations in your life, consider embarking on this journey to personal freedom and self-discovery. This work is about finding your own inner balance and resolution and feeling free to express your authenticity. I work with mood disorders, anxiety, sleep, stress, family and relationship conflicts, compulsions and addictions. I use my own mix of many theoretical and practice techniques in the service of your resolution, integration and wholeness, with special expertise in relationship counseling, spirituality and gender issues.

Life is complicated and each individual's situation is unique. No one escapes having difficulties in life. Some are tougher obstacles and we might need help figuring out how that affects us personally. Together we can work through those obstacles life handed you. Let's talk about moving forward.

Your anxiety is always present, and depression is a constant visitor, yet, energy and motivation rarely exist. You instinctively understand that society's rules are not always relevant; at the same time, it is hard to decide what is important and how to find your life's purpose, especially with unrealistic media expectations. You worry about money, the future, and the carbon footprint. You have difficulty with challenging conversations and making meaningful relationships. It is hard for you to keep up with the demands of life, keep things organized and workable, and find a healthy balance in life.
