Welcome to my website! My goal as a therapist is to help you heal from the past and have hope for the future by living fully now.

Are you having problems with addiction, anxiety, depression, or trauma? I can help. My 40 years of counseling people with addictions, anxiety, depression and trauma have taught me therapy is most effective when we work together in a cooperative effort.

Getting help by seeking professional treatment is a major life decision for most, and success is dependent upon trust. The two most important factors in effective psychotherapy are finding the right person with the right experience with whom you can connect and knowing that the therapy is geared to your unique needs.

My goal is to help you get your spirit back - the spirit of love, kindness, empowerment and hope.

I start by helping you identify your strengths and apply them to your problem and to encourage and empower you to make the necessary changes you would like in your life. In order to do that, I work to establish an environment of trust and safety so that you heal from whatever traumas or difficulties you have had in the past. I have found that EMDR Therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Somatic Experiencing help when traditional talk therapy is not helpful enough. Together, however, we can discover which approach works best for you.

If you’re interested in becoming a better, happier, more fulfilled you, I'd love to work with you every step of the way. Get started by reaching out today!
