Whether you’re navigating the impact of trauma, anxiety, depression, or substance use, you don’t have to do it alone. At Stillpoint Therapy Services, I offer compassionate, personalized support to help you reconnect with yourself, build emotional resilience, and begin to feel better—one step at a time. Through proven approaches like EMDR and talk therapy, we’ll work together to create real, lasting change.
Trauma can linger in the body and mind long after the event has passed. I use EMDR therapy to help you process painful experiences and reduce their emotional charge—so you can move forward with greater peace, clarity, and confidence. Whether your trauma is from a recent event or something rooted in childhood, you’re not alone, and healing is possible.
If anxiety or depression is interfering with your daily life, you deserve relief. Together, we’ll explore what’s driving your symptoms and build practical tools to calm your nervous system, shift negative thought patterns, and reconnect with hope. You’ll gain new insight and support to feel more balanced, empowered, and present.
Struggling with alcohol, marijuana, or another substance? Recovery isn’t just about stopping—it’s about understanding what drives the cycle and finding healthier ways to cope. With over 35 years of experience, I’ll support you in building lasting recovery through compassionate therapy tailored to your needs, goals, and story.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Every client brings a unique story, and I draw from a range of evidence-based and compassionate approaches to meet your individual needs. Together, we’ll choose the tools that best support your healing, growth, and goals.
Modalities I use include:
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Substance Use Disorder Professional with over thirty five years of experience helping people find lasting healing and growth.

My style is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in your unique story. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for a fresh start, I offer a safe space where you can feel seen, supported, and empowered.
