Welcome

My job as a therapist is to ask questions and make observations designed to help you examine your thoughts, feelings, behavior, and core beliefs. When we increase our self-awareness and better understand how our past influences our present, we can make positive and meaningful change. For general therapy clients, my approach is trauma informed and a mix of concepts from Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic therapies.

While there are several evidence-based treatment options for trauma, I have chosen to use EMDR in my practice. If you are considering this therapy, I recommend Korn & Baldwin’s book Every Memory Deserves Respect: EMDR, the Proven Trauma Therapy with the Power to Heal. I am dedicated to treating traumatic injuries of any kind, with a special interest in helping folks heal from intimate partner abuse and the impact of high control religion. 

Mediation is an alternative to potentially lengthy, stressful, and costly court involved resolution. It's a confidential, informal, and more cost effective way for both parties to reach a mutual agreement. 

Mediation is not therapy, but my role as a mediator allows me to use the same skills therapy requires: providing calm support, empathy, active listening, and creative problem solving. Some mediation sessions can be completed in 2-3 hours; some may require a series of sessions over a period of days or weeks. Every case is unique.

Note: To remain ethical and preserve neutrality, I cannot provide mediation services to current therapy clients. Nor can I provide mediation services to former therapy clients treated by me within two years of desired date of mediation services.
