There are times in our lives where we experience obstacles, frustrations and difficulties that take too much our well-being to process. I offer a safe, compassionate and engaging environment where we can work together to help you reach your goals.

I have been in clinical practice for over 30 years. My approach is integrative, humanistic and exploratory. My expertise includes trauma/PTSD, addictions, couples therapy, depression, anxiety and personality disorders. I have been utilizing EMDR for over 25 years. A large part of my practice has been devoted to treating trauma victims. In addition to EMDR, I use exploratory therapy, hypnotherapy, DBT, and CBT.

I also have extensive training and experience with treating all types of substance use disorders and
addictions.

I was a music major in college and performed professionally prior to starting my therapy practice. The disciplines I’ve gained from training and playing music has brought insight into treating patients who struggle with commitment obstacles and performance anxiety.

During the early stages of my practice, I was a baseball coach for 17 years. This stemmed from my passion of being a baseball player throughout my youth, college and adult years. The tools I’ve gained from the years of playing and coaching has helped me to have a deep sensitivity to the issues of performance anxiety and injury recovery. This has given me the opportunity to treat many athletes in my practice.
