It takes courage to engage in therapy and share your struggles. Challenges in life, anxiety, increased alcohol use, not getting along with others and now you feel isolated? You don't want to do it alone anymore. You will receive individual attention recognizing you as a whole person. Together we will build on your strengths, utilize EMDR, and understand difficult life experiences. You'll have a safe environment where you can explore your choices and opportunities.

We will use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Motivational Interviewing, CBT, and short-term solution-focused. We work through previous and current adverse/traumatic life events to stop the previous patterns and adjust to the growth you need now.

Being vulnerable can be overwhelming, and I appreciate your trust in me. I enjoy collaborating with families and doctors to provide the best possible care. I provide a safe environment where you can explore your choices. I look forward to working together to achieve your goals.
