We all know the signs – a heavy heart and a restless mind. Sleepless nights, joyless days, grumpiness, stress. constant crisis, overwhelming emotions. It's not working. But there's a way that works. Therapy works. You can calm those big feelings and make good choices. My clients and I work together like a basketball team moving the ball down the court. We pass the ball back and forth, sharing ideas, noticing themes, clarifying values, shaping your vision until you’re ready to take the shot. My approach is deeply collaborative and research-based. I’m strongly informed by CBT, DBT, Hypnosis, EMDR, Polyvagal and Neurodivergent Theory. The combination of these evidence-based treatments and a strong, working therapeutic alliance brings these interconnected therapies to life. Therapy does work. For almost twenty years I’ve helped folks navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, frustration, disappointment, grieving, medical problems, substance use, aging, disability. Let's move forward together. My special passion is integrating your religion/spirituality into evidence-based treatment. I also love marrying Hypnosis, EMDR and traditional psychotherapy for stress management, healing and pain control, anxiety and depression, PTSD, undesirable habits, enhancing creativity and nurturing spiritual insight.
