About

Good therapy is built on connection! Are you in a relationship where you feel you’re not being heard, or you’re tired of the same issues coming up, or someone has been unfaithful, and you agonize over how you could ever rebuild what you two had before? Do you feel like you’re in a constant struggle with worry… perfectionism... low motivation… panic… unpredictable moods…or with your past? Is the daily struggle dragging down your quality of life? If you experience any of the following: anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-harm... personality disorders,... family and relationship difficulty,... betrayal... parenting issues... or trauma, and feel like you are just trying to get through the day I offer consulting and psychotherapy services covering most diagnostic problems. I work with individuals, families, and couples aged 10 to 99. Along with traditional talk psychodynamic psychotherapy, I incorporate Somatic Experiencing (SE®) to gently help you come out of a perpetual fight/flight, freeze, or fawn state and feel more like yourself. These body-based approaches will help increase your capacity to face life’s anxieties, lack of joy, and low mood much more rapidly and effectively than talk therapy alone; allowing you to live your life with resilience and more ease. I am also a trained EMDR Therapist and Couples Therapist. If you are seeking to change your life’s direction, improve your career, or enhance your relationships, I can teach you how to have better insight into your own life to accomplish these above goals and more. If you are ready for change, come talk and let's begin a journey that will transform you and your future.
