I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship/intimacy issues, infidelity/betrayal, addiction, and alcohol/substance abuse disorders. I am a sex-positive therapist who works with clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which can assist with resolving lingering effects of past traumatic memories. It can also lesson the hold of negativity and limiting beliefs and move you to a much healthier self-concept and higher self-esteem. My approach is tailored from Gestalt, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. My work promotes client discovery of the authentic self through the support and enhancement of strengths and the letting go of incongruence/double lives. I am energized by helping my clients navigate major life changes. My own extensive life experience, coupled with my experience in the mental health and addiction fields can provide valuable participation and insight into your journey. Let’s join forces to help you look through a new lens, make real-life changes and turn challenges into opportunities.
