• Individual Therapy

    Individual sessions can be 50 minutes or 75 minutes, and you are welcome to schedule weekly ot less often.

  • Couples Counseling

    Couple sessions are usually longer and are focused on building (or rebuilding) your connection so you can better navigate your challenges together.

  • Family Counseling

    Family relationships are really hard. Counseling can involve the whole family or just two people who are struggling to figure out

  • Intensives

    Intensives are focused on one particular issue and can be one day or several. If you love your current therapist but want to try EMDR, this is a great fit. If your marriage needs some help asap, this may be the way to give it the boost you need.

If you are like me, you want to know what you are getting yourself into. I have given a little blurb about my general perspective on a handful of common concerns in case you are the person who needs all the details.

All the details

  • Depression

    In some sense, depression tends to be a freeze response to a really difficult situation. Maybe it’s the current reality, or maybe it’s still stuck from a really difficult past experience. Treatment for depression includes some behavioral activation to get out of the freeze response, while also working on the challenges that led to the depression.

  • Anxiety

    Anxiety likes to tell us we can be in control.

  • Trauma

    Sometimes you can pinpoint the event, and sometimes you can’t. The hallmarks of trauma are our day-to-day reactions and experiences that don’t quite fit the situation.

  • Process addictions

    Addictions are just bad coping skills. No one engages in behaviors or substances that generally make life harder without a really good reason. The opposite of addiction is not sobriety; it’s connection. My goal is to help you work toward sobriety while also resolving the issue that has led you into an addictive behavior. You really can’t do one without the other, so the process has to hit both at the same time.

  • ADHD/ASD

    Most of the stats people say that 15-20% of the population is neurodivergent. We are increasingly seeing more people with high-masking ADHD and ASD receiving diagnoses (especially women), and I think the numbers may be even higher. It can be hard to tease out these diagnoses with depression, anxiety, C-PTSD, etc. Maybe it’s comorbid, or maybe the ADHD or ASD diagnosis is more accurate. In adults this question can’t always be answered with absolute certainty, but figuring out how to best manage your life with the brain you have is absolutely doable.

  • OCD

    OCD is driven by intrusive thoughts, which are usually resolved with a compulsive behavior (or thought pattern). My approach is based on the idea that there is a reason for the intrusive thought, so we need to figure out how you got there. There is typically a doubt or misinterpretation that is driving the anxiety and the compulsion, and it is probably trying to keep you safe in some way. We need to honor what your OCD is trying to do and work to resolve it in a way that helps you to hold onto truth without needing reassurance or a ritual to feel better.
