I am passionate about finding the right approach for each individual and am trained in a variety of modalities including EMDR, DBT, Expressive Art Therapy, psychodrama and Non-violent Communication.
I believe everyone has the capacity to live fulfilling lives and cultivate deep and meaningful relationships with others. However, sometimes challenges from our present or past arise in ways that interfere with our ability to be our fullest selves. My hope is to help you identify and shift what feels like it is blocking you from living and loving yourself and others the way you want to. When we hurt in relationship, it is important to also begin to heal in relationship. My hope is that the therapeutic relationship can be a place for your healing to begin.

I believe human potential holds no bounds. That said, we are often constrained by our own self-limiting beliefs, and the resulting patterns of behavior can hinder personal growth. Self-defeating beliefs and narratives are frequently accompanied by a variety of negative responses, such as; anxiety, depression, addiction, low self-esteem, etc. As Henry Ford famously said, “Whether you believe you can or believe you can't...you're right". Together we will help you realize the former. I work with clients holistically, utilizing EMDR, CBT, mindfulness and other modalities, I am also able to provide Christian counseling.

My passion is helping others through life's ups and down standing along side them in the journey. I have found through therapeutic sessions a common thread, and that is finding and holding on to hope, and the struggle in learning to truly love yourself. This can come from a number of reasons including past trauma, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, early childhood beliefs, and the list goes on. When an individual is comfortable "being in their own skin" they can move forward into healthy relationships and joy in life beginning to feel true love and hope bringing lifetime contentment.

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.
