As a trauma trained therapist, I offer a wholistic approach to therapy emphasizing a body, mind, soul and spirit focus. Experts agree that trauma can stay trapped wihin the body causing issues, while negative patterns of thinking and responding can create unhealthy, frustrating, stuck places. EMDR is a proven method which addresses all of these areas together. In addition, I work with clients who express an interest exploring a faith based perspective for healing. Therapy can be a safe place to work together to unwind the stuck places. Offer nature walk/grounding as an option as well

Are you feeling frustrated in close relationships and wondering if it's possible to achieve harmony? Are you hoping to make changes within yourself to create a better life? These positive changes are possible but sometimes the pathway to get there is unclear. I help individuals, couples and families to identify dysfunctional patterns then provide tools to establish new patterns that help create healthier relationships and deepen intimacy. For couples therapy, I utilize an advanced couples therapy approach called EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy) which significantly helps the couple to increase and/or establish a securely attached relationship bond.

I believe that you are the greatest expert in your own life; my role is to help you connect to that authentic and intuitive voice to bring about change.
