I have worked 10+ years in private practice and EMDR trained.
Facing the decision to seek help for a substance use disorder (SUD) can be one of the most fearful places a person visits. My passion is helping individuals/families walk through this dark period. During my 10+ years of clinical practice, I have helped numerous individuals/families achieve their goal of sobriety and recovery. Through my experience, I quickly develop rapport, provide support and compassion, and assist individuals/families to understand root causes that lead to substance misuse. Please reach out if you're thinking you need help! I diligently work to see any/all clients who reach out, in-person or via telehealth.

I am trained in EMDR, DBT, CBT, psychodynamic and family systems approaches.
Does this sound like you? No matter how hard you try, negative thoughts fill your head, swimming around, taking over your day. You try so hard, but everything you do feels wrong, imperfect, and uncomfortable. Sometimes you may feel full of energy and then crash or become tearful and sad or angry and irritable. Sometimes you may have nightmares or flashbacks or lose time just sitting and thinking. Perhaps you have felt this way and gone through the same behavior patterns your whole life. Or maybe, these feelings are brand new, and you have never felt this way before. For whatever reason, you are seeking help and I am glad you are.

I often use EMDR to help clients improve relationships and to learn more about themselves.
There have been many restless nights and many days filled with panic and confusion. You're trying to juggle work, relationships, and every thought that comes to mind. Recognizing that you can say "no" or standing up for your needs can be difficult at times. Explaining to your friends and family why you still feel the way you do feels frustrating and exhausting. My goal is to hold space for you to address the issues that seem endless.

Modalities like CPT, CBT, EMDR, and DBT are used to create a toolkit to address these issues and struggles.
My focus in the counseling process is to meet individuals in their current life stage and work collaboratively to address any issues. As no two people are the same, the aim of treatment is to personalize the process with treatment goals to address unique needs. One main goal is to provide everyone with the tools and support to manage struggles, feel more confident and capable, and continue to grow and explore their own lives. I am passionate about working with professionals, young adults, college students, and adolescents as they navigate changes in their world and development.

I am trained in evidence-based approaches including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) a therapy method used to treat anxiety, addiction, grief and loss, and PTSD.
My clients would describe me as competent, easy to talk to and compassionate. I am passionate about creating an environment where you can feel safe and heard. Carl Rogers once said, “We think we listen, but very rarely do we listen with real understanding, true empathy. Yet listening, of this very special kind, is one of the most potent forces for change that I know.” I believe that therapeutic work is most helpful when you can sense that you are working with a therapist who genuinely cares and will listen. From that foundation, there will also be space for you to reflect and receive insight that will aid in meeting your goals.

I practice using attachment-based narrative art therapy and EMDR Therapy.
I help people who have experienced trauma or distressing life events, rewrite old stories that are no longer serving them. Art is a dynamic and tangible tool that allows for self-expression, freedom to make mistakes, and acts as an extension of the self. I use the process of art with clients and a mind-body connection to cultivate positive change and growth. The therapy room and artwork can act as a container to hold space for fear, hopes, and desires. With this newfound awareness and openness, clients begin to shift their narrative to a story of resiliency, self-compassion, and confidence to be the best version of themselves.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
