I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy, including elements of narrative therapy, CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR, and compassion and mindfulness based approaches.
I genuinely believe that, when in a space of safety and acceptance, nothing can be more powerful than sharing our stories. The sharing opens space for processing, coping, and healing. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I practice a holistic approach to address many of life’s challenges, whether that be trauma, depression, anxiety, codependency, grief, or life stressors. I will sit with you, actively listen, teach you to process your emotions in a healthy way, and we will collaboratively work toward your desired outcome.

I am trained in CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
Please EMAIL rather than call. I am passionate about working with people who have experienced trauma as well as those who are neurodiverse. I have found that people who are ADHD, Autistic, or AuDHD can have more difficulty with processing their trauma due to coping mechanisms and masking. My goal is to help those who have experienced developmental trauma/emotionally immature caregivers as well as those who experienced more obvious trauma(s). I strive to work with people to be able to validate their own experiences, find and believe the truth about themselves, and for them to live their lives authentically.

While I’m formally trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing ( EMDR) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, my approach to therapy is personalized.
Life can be overwhelming. We do all the things we’re supposed to do; we're productive at work, take care for our loved ones, spend time with our friends now and then, but we still end up feeling exhausted, lonely, and maybe even unimportant or unfulfilled. Therapy is an opportunity to choose yourself. It’s a chance to show up for yourself and give yourself the same kindness, love and compassion that you give to those around you. My goal is to guide you through self-reflection and personal growth in a safe and supportive environment and ultimately help you find your way to healing empowerment, and self-fulfillment.

I am trained in EMDR, CBT, and motivational interviewing as well as Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
Ever feel like you don't matter? Feel lonely, disconnected and don't know where to turn? Well, you matter! Let's talk!! I have worked with adolescents and young adults for over 25 years. Often times people who identify outside the "norm" feel like they don't matter, they do! The world around you is so uncertain and at times and can be not safe. Maybe you have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, bullying, or you just feel marginalized. You need to feel safe to talk and work through your concerns. It's exhausting to carry that burden alone. I enjoy working with adolescents and teens, but also have a good rapport with adults.

I am an EMDR trained clinician and I have extensive training in sex therapy.
Times are very tough right now, but reaching out for help should not be. By asking for help you are already taking the first step to making your mental health a priority. As a therapist, I provide an inclusive and empathetic space for my clients to begin the healing journey. Opening up to a stranger is scary and I am here to make that first step less frightening. I do not approach therapy as a one-size fits all style. People are unique and their environment and experiences make them who they are.
