Whether your aim is to heal from trauma, difficult emotions and thoughts, substance use, or a cascade of negativity brought on by others or yourself, therapy can be immensely rewarding. In fact, making a personal connection with a therapist, research has shown, is one the most important parts of productive therapy. I help clIent heal themselves using a variety of modalities such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy among others. I offer a safe and compassionate place for you to explore the issues in your story, so that you can live in a way that works best for you.

Couple counseling can help you to increase the emotional intimacy in your romantic relationship, whether it’s a marriage or other type of partnership. When emotional intimacy suffers, physical intimacy is often not far behind. Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy can help reduce the damage that arguments and disagreements have on your relationship, and can assist you in creating stronger, more secure bonds with your partner, so that when you have an argument, you can repair without creating more wedges in your relationship.

A healthy family can set a child up for success throughout their life, but when the state of conflict in families becomes too high and connection is strained, kids and parents can find their connections broken. When this continues it can result in feelings of betrayal leaving painful scars long after the kids have moved out. Emotionally Focused Family Therapy can help your family feel closer, stronger, with a felt sense that the members are bonded and supportive of one another and their goals in life.

I currently run two groups.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for Teens

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can give people the tools to help them tolerate distress, regulate their emotions, build healthy relationships, reduce judgment, and take control of their lives. With an emphasis on mindfulness, DBT skills groups are 8-10 weeks of intense and fun interaction that offer practical skills you can use to react more calmly and productively when you’re in stressful situations.

I Cheated. Now What?

A processing group for men who’ve had (or are having) an affair and are figuring out what it means for them, their spouse, their family, and their partner. Unearthing what was behind your decision to cheat is an important step to understanding what that relationship means for you, both now and in the future.There’s no “one answer” that works for everybody. Come and discover yours and how to best use that information to improve the relationships that are important to you.
