"Will I ever feel better?" "Why can't it be the way it used to be?" "What's wrong with me?" If these are just a few of the questions you've asked yourself, you are not alone. Many of us are suffering physically and emotionally, but it is possible to feel better and lead a more fulfilling life. You just have to set the fear aside for a moment and ask for help. If you believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, where compassion and respect go hand in hand with accountability and self-determination, I would be honored to work with you.
I am prior Air Force Mental Health therapist with more than 12 years of therapy experience. I continue to work with Veterans and their families at the VA but I have also been in private practice for several years, working with adults of all backgrounds and lifestyles. A good part of my training has been helping victims of trauma, both children and adults. But I am also a trained in ACT, a newer therapy that focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action to allow hope and healing back into your life. I am also trained in the PREP – relationship enhancement – model, which is an educational approach to helping with communication, trust and intimacy.
Finding a therapist who "fits" AND who can help you is a challenge. If you don't feel heard or don't feel there is a connection, I don’t take offense. You need to find the right person to guide you on your journey. But I would love to hear from you and talk about what is most important to you!
