My Approach to Helping

As a provider in the field for more than 15 years, I have substantial experience helping clients learn new skills for managing stress, anxiety and trauma symptoms. My clients tend to have improved functionality including sleep, employment and in their relationships after our work together. Everyone is unique. I do not use one specific therapy tool. I use a variety of tools and cater therapy to each person depending on individual needs or preference. It takes courage to reach out. I offer a complimentary consultation to meet me and to answer any questions you may have. I return ALL phone calls and emails within 24 hours, and I'm happy to help.

More About the People I Treat

Abuse and shame often originate in childhood because children believe or may be led to believe abuse is their fault or responsibility. Counseling can help to alter the view of abuse by looking at it though a different lens that might not have been visible from the childhood perspective. An alternate view can provide clarity and may help shed feelings of shame and blame. I also work clients who are struggling with splitting/parts/brief dissociative episodes to help them feel more connected.
