I applaud you for your courage in exploring therapy. My specializations are anxiety, depression, addiction, recovery, grief, loss, career counseling, LGBT+ issues, stress management, relationships, trauma, self-esteem, and problem solving. I employ a Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral approach, emphasizing the reality that what we tell ourselves affects both how we feel and our actions. I also like to integrate the Psychodynamic perspective, exploring how our early experiences affect the now, and a Solution-Focused modality to help clients problem solve. Ultimately, I create a safe, non-judgmental, and trusting environment. I am trained in EMDR for trauma and have had much success helping first responders with job stress and trauma reprocessing.

My passion is meeting my clients where they are at and encouraging them to explore the healing process, through evidence-based approaches. I am an adjunct professor of psychology/sociology and educate mental health, marriage and family, and school counseling graduate students. Be well.

Much peace. I celebrate your bravery in seeking help on your journey. Feelings can be uncomfortable. I encourage you to find comfort in that discomfort, while shining light on your truth. Give yourself permission. You deserve it. Your pain is for now, not forever. Allow me to introduce you to some mindfulness techniques. Just be.
