Anyone can give advice.  In my experience, people come to therapy looking for something they cannot get anywhere else. Usually they are struggling with anxiety, depression, or some other issue that they have not been able to solve on their own. How does therapy help? My philosophy is that we heal through relationship—not in isolation. So rather than providing a list of pre-scripted tools, I strive to develop genuine connections with my clients. But beyond simply looking for relief from troubling symptoms, my goal is to help you create the life you want to live.
Your therapy should be distinctively yours. No two people are the same. So my goal is to utilize specific therapeutic tools uniquely tailored to your needs. My method synthesizes the best of several therapeutic approaches including EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, internal family systems and attachment theory.
You don’t have to stay stuck. If you’re like most clients I work with, you don’t want to just live–you want to thrive. I’ll help you set clear goals for treatment, understand how your past is informing your present and develop strategies to optimize your life to its fullest potential. To get started, schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation.

I only endorse techniques that I truly believe in. That's because every modality I practice, from CBT to EMDR, is something I've tried myself. In fact, they're still tools that I practice today.

My specialties include: LGBTQ affirmative therapy, substance use and complex trauma. However, what most clients present with is anxiety or depression. In our work, we will trace those symptoms to their underlying causes. What makes me different from other therapists is I'm going to get to really know you before I start giving solutions.

I use EMDR to treat trauma. I define trauma is anything that overwhelms our capacity to cope. EMDR is not your typical talk therapy. Instead we will use bilateral stimulation to resolve unprocessed trauma. Following this treatment, you'll notice that your post-traumatic symptoms begin to lessen and resolve much quicker than through traditional therapies.
