I have a relational style of counseling and am trained in EMDR to bring a holistic approach to those who are struggling, whatever the circumstances.
We all need hope and encouragement from others who will walk alongside us through difficult circumstances. You may have lost sight of who you are or your value, but there is always hope.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, Mindfulness and Eye Movement desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are methods I use successfully to facilitate restoration.
Healing mentally, emotionally, and spiritually is possible. Often life challenges leave us struggling with negative self-talk, depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health issues. Experiencing difficult, inflexible situations and relationships can be very difficulty and disruptive. Healing and restoration can become a reality in your life and family. Through the renewing of your mind, you can become a more confident, secure, and well-balanced individual; capable of effectively managing relationships. Whether it is your marital, parental, professional, social or your relationship with yourself, restoration is possible.

I utilize EMDR therapy and Solution Focused Therapy techniques as they are the most effective and efficient therapies in relieving symptoms.
As a suicide and self-harm survivor I know firsthand the power depression, anxiety and trauma can have on our lives. After spending 10 months in a residential treatment program, I knew I was called to help restore the lives of others. Finding a therapist you can be your most authentic, honest self with can be exhausting! I have worked with thousands of patients over the years, and I am often told that talking to me is like talking to a friend. I contribute this to my laid-back, humorous, genuine personality…I strive to be the kind of therapist I needed all those years ago.

We will meet by teletherapy means, from the comfort of your home, utilizing a body/energy centered, strengths-based, integrative approach, that blends traditionally successful approaches like EMDR, somatic, and narrative methodologies with mindfulness, inner child work, and visualization.
You are NOT crazy! The part of your brain concerned with survival is likely feeling frantic, causing your logical self to go offline and your emotional self to be dysregulated. Are your old triggers and dysfunctional coping responses intensifying? Trauma, loss, change, conflict, and oppression can make you feel hopeless, lonely, anxious, depressed, and distrusting of you. You don't have to be defined by your past; you can transform your life by overcoming obstacles that keep you stuck and in pain. “Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.” Rumi

EMDR Therapists
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.
