My therapy and coaching work is based on a belief that we all long to experience love, connection, purpose, and peace in our lives. Symptoms that arise such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and physical illnesses signal a call to resolve and clear what is in the way of a happier life. My work embraces a holistic paradigm recognizing body, mind, and spirit, and focuses on helping clients learn to love and care for themselves as special and unique beings. Clearing out negative beliefs, healing emotional wounds, and eliminating toxic influences help clients live more authentic and empowered lives.

We all want to feel joyful and fulfilled in our lives and relationships. The 30+ years I have been in practice include running treatment centers, teaching / college level, national seminars, and training other therapists. I am licensed as both a clinical social worker and an addictions therapist. My experience and training has allowed me to integrate clinical knowledge with cultural understandings from the elders I grew up with. I help people achieve change through insight and solutions based in consciousness of internal and external conflicts.

My clients seek to break free from limiting beliefs, self-defeating thoughts, and compulsive behaviors. Every thought we have is an opinion formed from the limited information we have, as life is complicated and has no set rules. This often leads to uncertainty, judgment, and isolation. I offer an opportunity to change the way you think about yourself and the world, and to approach life with curiosity instead of fear. If you're ready to step into the unknown and heal, please contact me.

I take a holistic approach to the transformational and healing process. I offer the opportunity to explore personal growth through the mind, body, and spirit. I use mindfulness practices to guide individuals and families through relationship challenges, grieving difficulties, and issues related to substance abuse, trauma, and other life stressors.

My approach to therapy is based on the belief that everyone has an innate capacity for healing and growth. As we adapt to life's challenges, however, we sometimes get stuck in long-term patterns of thinking, feeling, behaving, or relating to others that ultimately limit our growth and leave us feeling sad, lonely, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or fearful. I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify, understand, and change these patterns that keep them feeling stuck so that they can to move towards a life that is more passionate, creative, and fulfilling.

I am a psychologist that specializes in therapy for adolescents and adults. I enjoy working with those who are struggling from a number of issues and custom tailor my approach to each of my clients, pulling from research and the most effective treatment methods. If you are unsure of your needs, please feel free to call and clarify.

As a recovering alcoholic and drug addict with 35 years of recovery, I enjoy working with other recovering individuals. I have a wide range of treatment therapy expertise to address co-existing issues that often complicate recovery. My professional experience started in 1988 as a substance abuse counselor intern in residential treatment, with later work in outpatient, hospital, criminal justice and military programs where I eventually became a Clinical Director. While I support 12 step recovery, I also offer alternative approaches that are individualized to more closely align with client desires and motivation.

If you have come here today, you are likely in a lot of pain. Your relationship is falling apart or is in a state of transition that's creating stress in your lives. Maybe you and your partner are just not as close as you used to be. Perhaps you are seeking Discernment Counseling to decide. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential in relationship. I do this by uncovering long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life and relationship.

As a holistic psychologist, I pull from a myriad of Eastern and Western practices, philosophies, and research to address life's questions and difficulties through approaches that target the body, mind, community, and spirit. My overarching goal for all my clients is to achieve a tangible and stable feeling of physical and mental calm in order to increasingly feel joy and more easily navigate life's stressors. Identifying the root of suffering, lifestyle changes, breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, discussions of the meaning of life and spiritual connection, guided imagery, and re-writing narratives are commonplace in my practice.

My office is a safe place to talk about difficult things with no judgement, no matter who you are. Loneliness, worry, grief, loss, alcohol/drug misuse, and sadness are very common feelings and experiences. We all attempt to find relief from such pain and sometimes the relief is helpful but not necessarily healthy. I collaboratively work with people, including professionals in the helping field, to experience their discomfort with far more ease by using sound therapeutic modalities and coping skills. Along the way I will also help you realize that you are far more resourceful and capable than you may currently believe.

Often clients need to be seen and heard so that they can process emotions and stress from past trauma or current stressors in which they feel stuck and unable to move forward. You may need support to better understand your life experiences that led you to the present. You need to feel the safe compassionate presence of another to process. I provide warm, relational, supportive client centered therapy and am experienced with anxiety, depression and complex trauma. I have worked with people from diverse ethnic and socio economic backgrounds and integrate an understanding of cultural factors and intergenerational trauma in our work.

I work with those who are craving a new route in life, one of personal evolution, embodiment, and choice. Life’s journey can present challenges, resulting in difficulty. Having the space to safely process your experiences can help you grow a greater understanding of yourself and your relationships. As a trauma-informed clinician I prioritize safety, choice, and collaboration in our work together. I am a queer-identified, curious, humorous, collaborative, and warm therapist who believes in therapy as a healing and transformative practice.

Most of us want more from our lives than just the absence of symptoms. To thrive, we need meaning, purpose, pleasure, connection with others, and a healthy relationship with the self. If you're here, you already know how to survive. I'd like to help you resolve issues that are getting in the way of having the life you want, whether that's a traumatic past, mental health symptoms, or trouble with relationships. I am queer, sex-positive, body-neutral, and affirming of your identities.

Are you ready for change? I welcome your call to see if my collaborative therapy approach is right for you. Research and experience suggest that it is our therapeutic relationship that matters most to the counseling process, not technique. I have a highly personalized, warm responsive style and offer a range of holistic approaches from solution-focused strategies and interventions to mindfully exploring the depths of interpersonal relationships and existential dilemmas. My goal as a therapist is to support you in finding and answering the questions inside you while feeling held and free.

Are you looking for a non-traditional therapist? I integrate my spiritual life coaching training and the practice of art-making into the therapeutic process in a way that honors who you are wholistically. This wholistic approach is based on the psycho-spiritual therapeutic modality, which is grounded in the notion that “the soul is the starting point for balance.” This approach to treatment takes into consideration the WHOLE of who you are, be it physically, emotionally, spiritually, intellectually, culturally, etc. and examines how your lived experiences have impacted your mental health.

Integrative Psychotherapy & Holistic Coaching, LLC provides you with a quality, research-based model of therapy and life coaching for healing and transformation.

I work with people who are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, and they may be experiencing anxiety or depression, or feelings of low self esteem or hopelessness and are searching for meaning and purpose, to make sense of their lives and their world and their place in it. They may want to improve how they communicate with others and themselves by learning to challenge and change negative and destructive thought and behavioral patterns. As social creatures we want and need to be heard and seen, to be validated and accepted!

I help people who are moving through difficult life transitions to get centered within themselves and aligned with their life’s purpose. If you are seeking resilience, hope, and engagement in life again, therapy is a place for you to be supported and understood. All it takes right now is the courage to begin.

I offer deep therapy based on attachment theory and communication skills development, depending on your needs, to engage you (and/or your partner) in a meaningful and heartfelt exploration of your life support needs. Move past limiting thoughts and behaviors and develop deeper connections. Clients have said that they appreciate my non-judgmental, yet direct approach. My response - "I am in your corner, routing for you". It takes courage but once you embark on this journey you will say, "Why didn't I do this sooner"?
