Individual Psychotherapy

Have you talked with friends and family members or read self-help books and still find life unsatisfying? Do you try to push down your feelings? If so, I can help you. I will listen and safely support you in facing those feelings.

Are you struggling with depression and/or anxiety that just doesn’t go away? I can help you with that too.

Are you confused about a relationship, career path or a lack of either? I can help you to work through that.

Psychotherapy (counseling) or simply, therapy, is talking with a trained professional about your fears, concerns, behaviors, desires and dreams. My goal as a therapist is to help you better understand and accept yourself.

In working with me, you will learn about your behaviors, thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Therapy allows you to understand and take control of your life through new knowledge and healthier coping skills.

Therapy is a process that allows a person to work through situations where they feel stuck. If you feel ready to change (or want to be ready to change), contact me.

EMDR

I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.

It is an evidence-based treatment proven effective for trauma, anxiety, and other distressing life experiences.

EMDR works by helping the brain reprocess difficult memories so they feel less overwhelming and lose their intensity. Research has shown EMDR to be one of the most effective therapies for trauma and feeling stuck.

EMDR is a gentle, client-centered approach that allows you to move at your own pace. If you’ve been carrying the weight of painful experiences, EMDR may help you find healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of peace.

Here’s a video that explains EMDR : https://youtu.be/AAjkdkHlzYY 

Couples Therapy

My work as a Couples Therapist is to help you to communicate better with each other.

I will also help you to:

• Argue more productively
• Listen better 
• Learn when to confront and when to let go
• Figure out your triggers
• Trust each other again

I will not:

• Help you to “fix” your partner
• Let you tune out when your partner is trying to communicate
• Take sides 

My job as a Couples Therapist is to help each person to feel safe and comfortable, exploring different feelings. My job is also to help you learn how to communicate with each other in a thoughtful and respectful manner. This includes both talking and listening. I will help you to sort out what’s happening and why.

Sometimes there is a betrayal in a relationship, sometimes there are challenges talking about sex or money or there can be challenges with feeling heard and seen by one’s partner. I’ve studied both Emotionally Focused Therapy (Dr. Sue Johnson) and IMAGO Therapy (Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt). Both are schools of thought that utilize strengths, rather than blame. We will work together to learn how to communicate more effectively so that each person feels supported by the other.

Group Therapy

Therapy Groups are wonderful ways to connect with others.

Being a member of a group provides the opportunity for intimacy with people who will be/are, very important to you. The experience helps answer questions that we have about ourselves, that are not as easily answered in our daily lives.

How do I know who I am?
Do I know how others react to me?
How close do I get to others?
Am I comfortable with myself?
Do I express all of my feelings?
Am I able to say, “Yes?” How about, “No?”

We will explore these questions together, in an environment that is both safe and interactive. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to me.

Professional Consultations for Therapists

In addition to facilitating therapy groups, I also provide professional consultations for therapists. 

These consultations are designed to support clinicians in navigating complex clinical cases, deepening their understanding of therapeutic approaches, and refining their professional practice. The goal is to provide a structured, thoughtful space for reflection, guidance, and professional growth. It’s also a great place to relax and talk about the joys and challenges of being a therapist with others who have similar experiences.
