I provide individual, couples and family therapy, mediation, group facilitation and parenting time evaluations. My counseling approach is transformational, with a focus on strengthening resourcefulness and well being. I am committed to deeply understanding my client's needs and to offering the best approach for the whole person or whole relationship. I specialize in working with individuals, families, couples and groups where cross-cultural or cross-differences impact their experiences.I also work with individuals that have experienced trauma, including returning veterans, hold EMDR and other helpful certifications and have trained with Nakwatsvewat Institute (Hopi Approach), the Amen Institute and Brain Matters, Inc. regarding brain injuries and health.

My practice covers a variety of areas. I refer to myself as a "general practitioner". My specialty areas are: couples, trauma and sex addiction

Therapy is a collaborative process; I believe that everyone has the innate capacity for personal growth. I help individuals foster a healthier understanding of themselves and their emotional world. Counseling offers us the opportunity to identify the factors that contribute to difficulties and to deal effectively with the psychological, behavioral, interpersonal and situational causes of those difficulties. Some of the most common issues for which individuals come to counseling include: Family Issues, Developmental Issues (ie. Separation, Identity Concerns), Depression, Gender Concerns, Sexuality Concerns, Academic Problems, Career Uncertainty, Physical, Emotional or Sexual Abuse, Physical Problems (ie. Tension, Stomach Pains, Insomnia), Grief, Alcohol or Substance Abuse, Eating Disorders /Body Image Issues, Anxiety, and sleep concerns.

I am a behavioral physician specializing in treating insomnia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, anxiety, migraine headaches, tinnitus and pain. I teach courses in somatic methods in hypnotherapy, medical hypnothherapy, and neurolinguistic programming.
