Ever feel like you just Can't Do It Anymore! Or you would like to improve your work and personal relationships? At times we get to this point and know it's time to reach out for SUPPORT. Time for change. I work with those who may have experienced difficult childhood events, trauma, anxiety, depression, medical conditions, or other mental health disorders that create stress keeping you from enjoying your life. I can teach you techniques to create the calm you require to pursue your career or relationship dreams. You can prepare for the next life challenge, even if it's scary or seems impossible.
Therapy is more than having a friend to talk to about our problems. In my practice I use research based methods - EMDR, trauma therapies, body-based mindfulness, imagery - to help you develop the tools you need to navigate stressors so you can achieve your goals. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and registered nurse (IL).
Get Started Today! I offer a Free Consultation Phonecall to help you plan for treatment. You can reach me by phone or email. My voicemail is private so feel free to leave a message and how to contact you back.

I am an EMDR Trained Therapist. EMDR is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing which is similar to how our brains heal during sleep rapid eye movements. It can also be done using tapping on either side of the body. See my website for more! Of course, I also use Talk Therapy which is client led. Let's look at ways you can support yourself in life's tough situations so you can feel peace.
