I'm also trained in Trauma Focused CBT, DBT, DNA-v and ACT, and certified ADHD/Executive Function professional.
My role in the therapeutic relationship is to help guide individuals to what their bodies and brains already know though may not be able to access just yet. I aim to provide insight that can disrupt the now-unhelpful routines and habits that may keep you stuck or pull you down. This is an alliance. You bring all that you are and all that you know about yourself while I guide how to move through some of the harder parts. Together, we can find the path for you to see that you are a pretty amazing human being who deserves to feel comfortable in your own skin and are worthy of compassion.

I use interventions from various modalities when appropriate, such as: trauma informed CBT, DBT, psycho-education, narrative therapy, ACT, and solution focused therapy.
Have you experienced difficulty in your past that you feel impacts you presently? Would you benefit from having someone in your corner while you navigate this stage of your life? I would love to explore whether I might be a good fit to help you move forward towards positive change. The therapeutic space I provide for my clients is non-judgmental, confidential, and built upon empathic understanding. We collaborate as a team to understand your struggles, process potential roots, and apply appropriate coping strategies suited for you individually.

I approach therapy using both cognitive behavioral, acceptance-based, and mindfulness techniques.
We all experience challenges during our everyday lives. Sometimes these challenges can seem overwhelming and discouraging. I work with people who want to make changes in their lives to help themselves overcome these difficult experiences. These changes can often be difficult to contemplate, yet alone act on. I strive to create a supportive environment for my clients where they can explore their concerns and the emotions that arise.

Specializing in PTSD/Anxiety/Depression, I work to facilitate your body's innate healing response through possible EMDR, CBT & Eclectic applications.
Welcome! In this very moment you're choosing to be on your journey. My therapeutic philosophy is to facilitate and support your body's innate healing response through the applications of EMDR, (EMDRIA.ORG) and heart-centered therapies. EMDR in particular works to liberate clients from past trauma memories whether that be small "t" trauma or big 'T" trauma and to transform a person's subconscious beliefs thus "turning down the volume" on negative memories/negative beliefs and transforming those subconscious beliefs back into positive core beliefs so that you may become your highest aspect of yourself.

I can connect easily with children using play therapy, art, cognitive behavioral techniques and lots of humor.
** I am not currently accepting new clients, but will update when I have openings.** Sometimes life can be challenging. Kids don't always know how to manage difficult transitions or feelings by using their words. Instead, an unhappy or anxious child may present with behaviors that are upsetting. I can help discover underlying issues and guide young people in finding ways to better express what is on their minds.
