*I have immediate openings ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* EMDR (in-training) As a trauma informed therapist, I believe the most empowering feeling is finding your voice. By reflecting inward and making the the necessary changes we feel a sense of connection. I have spent many years building rapport with my clients from various traumas and background such as grief/loss, trauma and PTSD. I understand that building a safe therapeutic environment is essential in my therapy sessions.

Do you have irrational fears that others don’t understand? Are you seeing red flags in a little one that you care about? Or Are you just trying to figure life out? Whatever the issue, after 11 years as a psychotherapist, I’m confident we can figure it out together. If you feel that you haven’t arrived to your best self then let’s figure out why and get to work. It’s okay if you feel scared or think it’s impossible. It isn’t. We can’t let your past or the problems of tomorrow rob you of the joy of today. I get that you may have life situations that therapy can’t’ fix, but we can help you focus your energy on what you can control.
