At my therapy practice, I utilize various tools to help clients restore, heal, and move forward. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist who works with first responders, military, assault victims, trauma victims, and people experiencing anxiety. I use EMDR to help heal people with past traumas in their life that continue to disturb them.
I am also a Trained EFT Therapist (Emotionally Focused Therapy). I utilize this to help couples improve their communication, restore their relationship, and heal from past wounds.

I am not the kind of therapist who sits there and nods at you without ever offering any real counseling.

The purpose of therapy is to facilitate POSITIVE CHANGE. Let's get to work so you can realize a happy, peaceful and satisfying life.
Drug and Alcohol Counselor, Registered Addiction Specialist (RAS), Substance Use Disorder Certified Counselor (SUDCC)
I have always been extremely interested in the science surrounding mental health. Although in my early days, I did not quite understand the depth and heartbreaks of addiction, after almost a quarter of a century of study, training, and hands-on experience, I am humbled by the realization of the multiple dimensions of this condition. Although, there is not one single or simple solution, there are a tremendous amount of useful resources and excellent results. I also learned that knowledge, professionalism, and compassion are necessary tools health care workers must possess. There is no place for stigma, judgment, or arrogance.
I strive to provide a safe space for those seeking help, where concerns are heard and evaluated, and where individual needs are carefully and respectfully examined. A place where treatment options are decided purely on patients' needs and not on preset protocols that benefit the program more than the patient. I want the patient to have a meaningful experience. One that will help them choose a healthier path.
I act with others in a way that aligns with my values. My desire to be in healthcare was never misguided, but maybe a little naïve. I have since broadened my understanding of people's needs, strengths, and difficulties. My purpose hasn't changed and I continue to strive to help people live healthier and happier lives.
My training is in Depth Psychology, which means that I am interested in the whole person, including thoughts, feelings, somatic symptoms as well as the developing sense of Self. I also believe that we are all mirrors for each other and so we are always in relationship in one way or another, with ourselves, nature, and life that is going on all around us. I believe that our wounding occurs in relationships and so does our healing. We all need a witness to our pain and I believe that the therapeutic relationship must be one of trust and connection, so I work hard to build a relationship that helps to ease the work of the individuals or couples that I see.
