Welcome to my profile. You have taken a difficult step in exploring your healing and recovery journey. You may be looking for support as you navigate stress, burnout, trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, caregiver fatigue, ADHD or autism, addictions, and life transitions. Maybe you and your partner are experiencing challenges around communication, intimacy, parenting, elder care, work-life balance, differences in wants, needs, and life goals. Maybe you are a first responder/military/vet seeking a therapist who is truly able to deep dive with you, help regulate intrusive thoughts, and deeply process traumatic events.

I am committed to ongoing professional development and am trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, CPT, PE, MI, EFT, and recently completed ADHD-CCSP training. EMDR is my preferred treatment modality as it quickly relieves symptoms. For my work with couples, I use EFT, Gottman Method, and Developmental Model.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe, respectful therapeutic space for individuals and couples to safely explore their experiences as they travel on their healing journey. I am here to help people develop new tools and strategies, reconnect with themselves and start living the life they want to live again.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
EMDR

Motivational Interviewing
Narrative
Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
Trauma Focused

EMDR is my preferred approach to therapy as it generally provides fast and sustained symptom relief for trauma, pain, anxiety, substance use, anxiety, shame, rumination, ADHD, caregiving fatigue, and chronic illness. For couple therapy I enjoy using Gottman and EFT as both approaches often help couples reconnect, develop new skills and understanding.
