Specialties

I specialize and am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an effective treatment for single-​episode and recurrent emotional wounding.

* depression, anxiety, and overwhelming stress

* self-​esteem/​pervasive negative beliefs

* addictions and compulsions

* out-​of-​control anger (non-​court ordered only)

* shame

* coping with chronic medical conditions

* relationship and communication problems

* life changes and transitions

* grief and loss of important relationships, including divorce

* employment and career issues

* coming out and other struggles for LGBTQQI-​identifying persons

History

Established in 2009.

As a Master’s level social worker since 2006 and as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since early 2009, I have served two years in residential treatment settings with both youth and adults; three years in a psychiatric inpatient setting, working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults; and one year in community mental health, specializing in addictions treatment, employing both harm reduction and abstinence-​based approaches.

I began practicing privately on a part-​time consulting basis in late 2009 with chronically-​distressed persons living in a long-​term psychiatric care setting.

In 2010, I began to transition into a private office setting, working with clients from diverse backgrounds struggling with a variety of difficulties.

In January 2013, I moved into full-​time private practice, where I continue to work with clients ranging in age from adolescence to older adulthood. I am grateful to work with wonderful clients who allow me to share in their healing process.

Meet the Business Owner

Michael C.

Business Owner

I truly have a passion and love for my work. I am dedicated to ensuring that my clients are coming into a safe space where they can be heard, feel understood, and move through their distress to a place of healing and improved resilience.

I strive to help clients reach a place where therapy is no longer necessary for them. Of course, there are times when ongoing therapy is necessary, because some emotional pain has deeper roots that require more attention.

I encourage you to contact me via my website to schedule a free phone consult to discuss how we might work together to resolve your distress.
