I've been a therapist since 2004 and I still feel truly blessed to do the work that I love. I believe that people have the capability to create change, adjust to adverse experiences, and overcome hardships. I also believe in the resiliency, hope, and power in people to learn from mistakes, build skills, formulate positive perceptions, create healthy relationships, develop a sense of security, heal, grow, and be happy. In our work together, you can expect a safe and supportive therapeutic space and process. My style is open, strengths-based, and collaborative. I am also direct with humor and compassion.

Do you have the heart of a competitive athlete or other high achiever? Do you find yourself seeking support as you navigate a course toward excellence? I'm a licensed sports psychologist, working with diverse competitive athletes and elite performers to manage high achievement demands, daily stress, relationship struggles, life changes (such as injury recovery and career transition), and more. The work often starts with basic problem solving, but ideally it leads to an unlocking of optimal experience.

After working in the mental health field for nearly 15 years, specifically in crisis intervention, it's been my intention to start working with people before life becomes unbearable. Often we drift through our days without asking for the support that we need because it can feel as though we aren't worthy of that focus. My passion is to center each person I work with and hear how they experience the world around them. Change and growth are possible and I'm excited to be part of your climb. I believe therapy is about exploring your memories, current events, and feelings in order to help your present-self move forward.

It's important to have a healthy and collaborative space where you feel listened to, respected and understood. As a therapist, I work to provide that space in order to help you improve your mental health. Together, we can explore paths that can lead to growth and healing.

Therapeutic counseling that works is counseling that supports you to create change, reach your potential, and accomplish your goals.

My goal is to help you find a path forward and start making the changes that you are seeking!

I believe our past experiences can have a lasting impact on us, and affect how we move through life as adults. This can impact how we view ourselves, how we view others, and how we connect in relationships. Fortunately, our past experiences can be worked through in adulthood. As adults we can intentionally explore what we have learned to determine what we can hold onto and what is no longer serving us. This means we can orient toward a journey of healing and growth. This may involve confronting past lessons, examining our present patterns of relating, and adjusting so our futures can be aligned with who we are and what we want.

I am a retired high tech executive who has embarked on a career as a life coach specializing in addiction counseling. As a State-certified counselor, I’ve helped men from 20 to 60 years of age and from many backgrounds. However, having worked in the corporate world, I’m uniquely qualified to help people struggling with substance abuse in high pressure environments. Addiction is a secondary issue in my view. The problem is most people approach life in a reactive, rather than proactive mode. This usually results in sub-optimal outcomes. I will help you with personal and professional life planning to get your life on track.

I work with adults using the lens of complex trauma to help bring awareness into how one’s past may have shaped maladaptive behaviors of their present that could be causing life to be stressful and overwhelming. At the core of my work, I promote improving the relationship with oneself to maintain long-term healing. Patients who are motivated to improve their relationships, assertive communication and boundary setting skills, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves would be a good fit for the treatments I provide. I use CBT, attachment theory, inner-child work, some components of IFS, and EFT in my work.
