My mission is to help you discover your authentic self free from compulsive and self sabotaging behaviors. Many of us have suffered some type of stress in our families while growing up and these experiences shape our interactions today. I work with you in a gently confrontational yet supportive style to identify and eliminate irrational beliefs and behaviors that are no longer working and solidify those which further you in your life. I believe that we all have the answers within and my job is to create a collaborative environment in which you can set goals and find solutions.

I work with adults and couples. I see myself as a trauma therapist. Trauma can mean severe life threatening events and also more subtle experiences such as long-term neglect or abuse. I use a variety of methods including Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Collaborative and Solution Focused psychotherapy.

I am a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and employ Patrick Carnes Ph.D. task centered approach to treating sexually compulsive behaviors and co-dependency. I have experience working with people in recovery from substance abuse and I use EMDR (eye movement desensitization/reprocessing) and body focused therapy to facilitate healing
