I have extensive training in EMDR and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Does it seem like living the life you desire is out of reach but somehow easy for others? Does it feel like you take a step forward just to run into a wall of anxiety, depression and/or anger blocking your path? Know now you come by these feelings honestly. Past losses/traumas can easily set up this reoccurring pattern. I truly understand how this happens and yet wholeheartedly believe that you can live a connected & vibrant life. I also know that working through the past in a safe space is crucial to breaking free. You may not remember the last time you truly felt safe, so my goal is to create an environment where healing can begin

I also offer CBT, DBT, EFT, HAES approach, mindfulness and somatic based therapies.
In a world where we are constantly experiencing trauma, both directly and indirectly, it can be difficult to identify how deeply different things in life affect us. I believe that the experience of feeling understood can be the catalyst for change and something that allows for healing to begin. I aim to provide a space of healing, openness and exploration for those things that you might otherwise suppress or carry with heaviness or judgment. Together, we can heal that unresolved stuff from the past and create skills to support you through future circumstances.

I have training in Psychology of the True Self, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, IMAGO Relationship Counseling, Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, Mediation, Structural Family Therapy, and am very comfortable with the spiritual aspect of life and have a deep respect for all religions.
The essence of my counseling approach is that I know each person to be whole and unique regardless of what is currently being experienced. I help clients focus on areas of difficulty with kind acceptance. Knots of anxiety, depression and unhappiness unravel and resolve into greater peace. One begins to know oneself as bigger than the problem. I teach cognitive behavioral skills of mindfulness, centering and focusing to allow a greater repertoire of responses to habitual problem areas. I provide a safe place to explore one's deeper self and resolve issues that block happiness and the realization of potential.
