My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed by anxiety or stress and is struggling to balance personal life and work. They need practical strategies to manage their emotions, gain self-awareness, and improve their overall well-being. Their goals include reducing negative emotions, building confidence, and fostering healthier relationships. They want these changes to achieve a more balanced, fulfilling life where they feel in control, empowered, and capable of thriving in their personal and professional lives.

It takes courage to consider counseling. It is an important step to resolving issues that keep you from being your best. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed by the challenges of everyday life. You don't have to face these struggles alone. Having owned and worked on a farm, I have seen many parallels between healthy gardens and healthy minds. We need to plant seeds and thoughts that are viable for optimum growth. Once planted, we must nurture our inner garden with essential elements.

I help women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s feel like themselves again after trauma. Many of the clients I work with have faced challenges such as childhood trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, complex trauma, and other distressing experiences. My approach is a kind and gentle therapy that integrates relational therapy, EMDR, and inner child work.

Are you fearful, overwhelmed, overthinking or having trouble sleeping? The emotional pain from trauma or anxiety prevents you from living your best life. Your brain has an adaptive ability to heal so that you feel better. I'll show you evidence-based interventions to manage your upsetting emotions, challenge negative beliefs and stop self-defeating behaviors. I've been a therapist for 25+ years, certified in EMDR and was trained in 1999 by Dr. Francine Shapiro who developed this technique. I also use skills from Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavior “talk therapies” for clients who want to make positive changes without EMDR.

The nature of your work as a first responder, 911 dispatcher, doctor, nurse or therapist involves frequent exposure to traumatic events either personally experienced or experienced vicariously through the person going through the trauma. This can take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being and lead to burnout and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You may fear and actually face stigma and judgment when seeking help for mental health issues. You would give anything to feel "normal" again.
