I work with adults and couples using trauma-informed and culturally sensitive interventions, including EMDR, IFS parts work, and somatic.
Choosing to pursue counseling can seem scary, especially if past experiences have shown you that vulnerability isn’t always safe. I openly welcome and accept all emotions, and believe that healing comes from understanding oneself, being understood, and acting with authenticity. I strive to create an environment where we can converse openly without judgment. Together, we can work towards understanding and reprocessing any experiences that have left an imprint on your life.

EMDR produces effective and efficient results around a variety of issues including past trauma, anxiety, and depression.
It can feel scary, exciting, intimidating, and hopeful to finally decide to see a counselor. Sometimes it takes us years to finally reach out and make the call. It is such an honor that my clients allow me into their lives. I find that my life is enriched through knowing and experiencing my clients' lives along side them. I work hard to make my office a safe, open, affirming space. Experience has taught me that past experiences truly inform present functioning. Healing and growth is possible, as I witness it daily. I look forward to collaborating with you and I offer you the option of utilizing EMDR to enhance outcomes.

Processing events through EMDR is the piece to counseling that helps us truly grow in a more positive, and healthy way.
In life, there are so many different transitions, chapters, stages, and events we experience that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. I understand the importance of listening empathetically, and not critiquing each thought one may have. The idea of therapy is not just obtaining tools to get us through life, but uncovering connections to those unhealed parts within us that have never been fully processed. Techniques offered in my sessions help build the ground work necessary to get us to a point that processing becomes possible.
