Great to meet you!

Welcome. If you are here, something probably isn't going well. I am a warm, straightforward. therapist who can support you in finding out what needs to happen to make things better. I use humor, when appropriate, and every once in a while when it isn't, but I'm not afraid to walk into the darkness with you to find the truth of what needs to change.

My approach to therapy

I am a Somatic Psychotherapist by training with extensive training in Somatic Experiencing, DBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Substance Abuse recovery, and more. I am a Behavioral Health Executive with experience in Corporate Leadership and employment challenges.

What you can expect from me

I prefer to start with what you want to start with. I can gather information for the intake while we talk about what is bringing you in today. I know sometimes people wait a long time to make the call for support, so they are more than ready to talk about their concerns. Please feel free to ask me questions as we go along to make sure I am the right fit for you.
