As the owner and founder of The Revolution in Counseling I have sought to understand, develop, and implement the most effective and innovative therapies in the field. I work to treat problems at their core to enable real and sustainable change. I have treated a wide range of mental health disorders, but I primarily specialize in treating Trauma, Anxiety, PTSD, Substance Use Disorders, Sex Addiction, Personality Disorders, Betrayal Trauma, Co-Dependency, and Families with Addiction.

I provide therapy to clients dealing with relational dysfunction and/or problematic sexual behavior. My objective is to provide them with a new language and pragmatic tools to gain a better understanding of how to handle unwanted sexual desires, thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. Through therapy, I aim to support my clients in achieving and maintaining sobriety, as well as engaging in deeper recovery work to address underlying issues. I also guide them in rebuilding trust and reintegrating into relationships that have been strained or broken.

Are you battling unwanted sexual behavior? Are you tired of carrying around this dark secret? Often we don’t talk about these things or seek help because of the embarrassment or shame that typically surrounds them. We think things like, “if they knew this, they would leave me” or “Keeping this secret keeps the peace,” but you just don’t know how long you can keep up the lie. The truth is that trying to get passed something like a porn addiction on your own doesn’t work and hasn’t worked.

My goal as a therapist is to encourage clients to attain their greatest potential, to help them transform their lives to being filled with increased ease and balance, and to empower them to recognize their internal competencies that they may access as coping skills for handling the complexities of daily challenges.

Are you struggling to figure out what makes you happy or to find motivation to make the changes that would greatly improve your life? Are you trying to figure out your purpose in an ever changing and complicated world? Do you struggle in navigating your personal / family relationships, or wish to improve how you relate with others? Are you just stuck and confused on what to do? The clients that I consider a best fit are those who are wanting to change themselves but are finding themselves stuck because of anxiety, depression or relational problems.

My main clinical passion lies in helping young children, primarily newborns to age nine, better understand their own emotions so that they can cope with them adaptively. I also enjoy working with adults, particularly those who have experienced stress or trauma during their childhood. I recognize that oftentimes these painful experiences block people from accessing their authentic selves, which leads to a feeling of being “stuck.” With this perspective as my guide, I help clients of all ages work through their inter- and intra-personal defenses to become "unstuck".

Are you tired of arguing with your partner? Did you find out your partner has cheated? Are you thinking of ending your relationship? I can help you reconnect with your partner by rebuilding trust and closeness using the most effective method of couple therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy. Is anxiety, depression, or trauma getting in the way of your relationships, work, or life? I can help you get to the root of the problem and give you tools to feel better. Are you struggling with the unique difficulties of being LGBTQ? I can help you develop the confidence and skills to live as your authentic self.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety and panic disorders and mild to moderate OCD, as well as trauma and depression. My experience tells me that these conditions are highly treatable with the right approach. My primary method is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which is a proven evidence based treatment for these problems. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Cognitive Processing Therapy for the treatment of trauma. My style is direct, supportive and goal oriented with emphasis on what the client wants to work on. I use humor as well!

I work with a variety of clients who are dealing with relational dysfunction and/or problematic sexual behavior. I assist my clients in learning a new language and using practical tools to better understand how to deal with unwanted sexual desires, thoughts, attitudes, and behavior. I seek to help clients achieve and maintain sobriety, do the deeper work of recovery, rebuild trust, and reintegrate into broken relationships.

My approach to helping my clients includes providing a safe emotional space, empathy, understanding how thoughts impact our feelings and behavior and implementing mindfulness to promote positive change. Whether it is individual therapy for yourself, couples therapy to strengthen a relationship, or family therapy to make home a healthier emotional environment, I can help you work through issues that may have been simmering for years. Even small changes in thinking and perspective along with learning appropriate communication and life skills can make a joyful difference.

I am passionate about helping individuals manage their mental health so that they can experience peace in their lives and relationships. I received my doctorate in family science and a master's degree in marriage and family therapy from the University of Kentucky. I have a strong background in improving mental health and well-being in the context of relationships. Many people define themselves and their family members in a limited way, often forgetting the vast potential that each person embodies. Each person is different, with a unique background and set of circumstances. Therefore, therapy should not be "one size fit all."

Self compassion is vital for change. My goal is to help you master this difficult skill to help support you in loving and being your best self. With over thirteen years in the mental health field and almost a lifetime of focusing on personal growth, I have learned the hard way that no change comes without having a positive relationship with yourself. If you are willing to commit, I can help you develop that relationship with yourself and alter any unhealthy thought, behavioral, or relationship patterns that are keeping you stuck. Together we can tap into your intuition, use your strengths and cultivate skills needed for growth.

Every person is unique in their own way, and so are their problems. Therapy is a special journey for every individual and couple. I am here to successfully guide you through the process. I strive to help individuals and couples break free from their feelings of despair, dissatisfaction, and dismay and gain or regain a sense of control, peace, and wholeness. My philosophy is to work jointly with the client and identify the best strategy to meet their present needs.

I am fortunate and profoundly grateful to have found my passion (which also happens to be my career) in supporting people across the lifespan - children, teens, adults and families through struggles and challenges due to chronic medical conditions, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting that our lives and our chaotic world present. I use an eclectic approach rooted in neuroscience and relational neurobiology to meet you where you are with what works for you.

Are thoughts of retirement or making career changes bringing up fear and angst for you? Have you recently become a caregiver for a loved one who is struggling with a chronic illness or have you been diagnosed with a life-threatening chronic illness and are still coming to terms with it? Are you struggling with a relationship loss or a death loss? As we go through life we undergo so many transitions- some planned and some unplanned. If you need a safe space to explore how these transitions are affecting you then I may be the professional for you.
