Great to meet you!

First let me say I went into therapy after a lot of my own problems in life and I wanted to understand why I struggled so much. Currently I specialize in relationship counseling, PTSD, anxiety, and grief/loss. Everyone's mind is shaped by their experiences, environment, personality, and a variety of other factors. I recently retired from the VA after 17 years of working with veterans and their struggles. There rest of the time I was in community care working with individuals and families. I understand that it can be hard to ask for help but the most resilient people I know have been the ones that want to keep discovering what is underneath the surface. It's not easy to figure it out yourself. That's why I do what I do! I love to help people unlock the mysteries in their heads. I would welcome the opportunity to get to know you if you think we would be a good fit. I DO NOT JUDGE..that is not my job nor my nature. My job is to uplift and assist you in finding your way to an improved quality of life.

My approach to therapy

I am very client centered in my approach because everyone is unique. I am trained in CBT, relationships and couples counseling, motivational interviewing, Inner Child work, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, neuropsychology, addictions methods, and trauma informed therapies including somatic experiencing. parts work and EMDR.

What you can expect from me

In our first session I like to get a snapshot of what you would like to work on in therapy. I want to get to know you. You will get a snapshot of me as well and if it feels right we can move forward with healing.
