Do you identify with "being stuck" or struggle with making progress & feeling better? Do you have recurring anxiety, agitation, &/or depression? Or no one understands you? These concerns often need specialized treatment. Past trauma impedes the healing process. PTSD results from many types of experiences. EMDR is proven to cure PTSD, no matter how long or severe you have suffered its symptoms. So have you had enough yet? If so, you can benefit from my professional experience. Are you ready to change & undergo real transformation? Maybe you're ready now. Request a free consult by clicking on my "website," by email, or call me today!

A trauma-informed approach is non-judgemental, with calm energy promoting a safe relationship. These are important aspects to begin developing rapport, safety & a trusting connection. Some specialized interventions I use include evidence-based EFT/tapping & EMDR (certified 2005). Find out how you can experience immediate relief with proven methods that work!

I want to guide & teach you to be more encouraged with an increased feeling of personal power & belief in yourself. Your counseling should always be meaningful & relevant to you. I will listen to you and work with you to achieve your goals. It's time that you feel you have some control back in your life. Let go of chronic discouragement & get your life back!
