I am passionate about bringing healing to all aspects of a person. I specialize in trauma, complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I take an eclectic approach in my counseling practice and use the techniques that work for each individual in order to bring harmony to all parts of a person’s internal system. Trauma causes deep and lasting effects on the survivor's thought processes, nervous system, and physical body. Behaviors and reactions of trauma survivors can be seemingly unpredictable, confusing, contradictory and lead to pathologizing diagnosis.
Those experiencing issues such as co-dependency, unhealthy coping skills, emotional disturbance, low self-esteem, Borderline Personality (BPD), and other symptoms often benefit from a combination of techniques I use to strategically and holistically address the areas where they are stuck.
I integrate Catholic/Christian approaches to my work with client's who desire the Divine Healer to be a part of their healing process. With the aid of these evidence based techniques, I continue to see my clients gain healing and freedom. It is a desire and joy to help my clients on this journey of healing to thriving.

Understanding trauma and the structural dissociation/fragmentation it causes in the system, the main approach I begin with is an Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) informed approach. I have clients that prefer to do only parts work and I have clients who prefer to incorporate parts work in EMDR. In addition IFS and EMDR, I use other therapeutic techniques to support the therapeutic process.
