I work to make you feel safe, heard and validated with what you are going through. I am personable, empathetic and I understand how challenging life experiences can contribute to feelings of anxiety and depression and can leave us with self-doubt, negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity. I collaborate with you to identify previous influential and traumatic experiences that are currently fueling your symptoms and impacting your current functioning. The ultimate goal is for you to decrease your symptoms so that you can live your most authentic, satisfying life and be your best YOU!
I am a certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist, which is very effective in treating previous traumatic experiences that can contribute to current symptoms. I have extensive experience in helping mothers with reproductive struggles including infertility, loss and post-partum as well as effective positive parenting skills.
Life can be challenging and living with unmanageable mental health symptoms creates an greater challenge. I believe that each person is the expert of their life and can work to heal themselves from previous traumatic experiences. I am passionate about helping you self-heal and achieve a more peaceful, happy life and obtain some excitement for the future!
