I utilize EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-informed interventions.
Do you ever feel like it is you against the world? Or wonder if there is anyone “in your corner”? This world can throw all sorts of difficulties our way and sometimes it is helpful to know you are not alone in the fight. Those difficulties may present with symptoms of depression, anxiety, fear, worthlessness, addiction, trauma, negative thinking, or loss. I understand how tempting it is to give up the fight, but I also know the joyful victory that comes with healing and freedom. I am holding hope for you even if, right now, you are not able to hope for yourself. I believe there is abundant life and wholeness for YOU!

I am certified in EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Brainspotting.
Do you ever feel like your emotions and logic just don't line up together? Does it feel like you're stuck in a neverending cycle and the autopilot that once worked just isn't working anymore? Do you have an overwhelmed nervous system sucking the joy of life away from you? I want to be there to help you through the struggle so that you can find the path leading to your goals while gaining a sense of self-awareness, fulfillment, and happiness that you deserve. I believe that people are their own personal experts in their lives, but we might need help unlocking that expert due to past times of becoming overwhelmed and shut down.

My therapeutic approach routinely includes: CBT, EMDR, Mindfulness, and/or Ericksonian Hypnosis.
Have you experienced a trauma such as sexual/physical/emotional abuse, bullying, a shooting, car accident, or combat/military trauma? Did you survive a traumatic/dysfunctional childhood? Do you have a relationship in your life that you want to be healthier? Does perfectionism consume you? Do you feel controlled by anxiety or depression? Some people think seeking help is a sign of weakness. I completely disagree. I believe it takes an inordinate amount of strength to reach out for help and to become your healthiest authentic self. I would be honored to have the opportunity to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

I am certified through EMDRIA in EMDR, an evidence-based trauma therapy that helps address barriers rooted in past adversities and traumas.
Many things in life can lead you to reach out for support when old ways of dealing with challenges no longer work. You may be carrying trauma, pain, or navigating life transitions that feel overwhelming. Together, we can tap into your natural ability to adapt, grow, and release the "old stuff" that no longer serves you. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to reorganize patterns of thinking, feeling, and acting to better align with your present reality. My aim is to help you grow in awareness, integration, responsibility, and authenticity. I believe you know yourself best of anyone, whether you fully realize it or not.

I utilize a combination of EMDR, skills building, psychoeducation, cognitive techniques, and mindfulness to help clients overcome their personal and interpersonal challenges.
Trauma and difficult life experiences can change the way we perceive ourselves and the world. The effects of these experiences can sometimes leave us feeling out of control, frustrated, lost, and miserable. However, every person has the ability to change, grow, and heal. When we process through our experiences, we can develop a more accurate understanding of who we are—our inner strengths, resources, and needs, and our deeply held hopes for our lives. I'm here to help you grow toward your potential and experience healing and peace.

Does your child, adolescent, or teen exhibit concerning behaviors at home or school? I believe we should strive to look beyond the concerning behaviors exhibited by our children. What if we shift the perspective from viewing the behavior as problematic to seeing the behavior as a form of communication? My goal as a therapist is to translate this form of communication to create a bridge of understanding between caregivers and their children. As an adult, “adulting” is hard. Therapy can be a positive outlet to explore new coping skills and a self-care routine. It can also be a place to process through life stressors or trauma.

I am certified in AEDP, EMDR, and am a student of Somatic Experiencing.
I am passionate about helping people who struggle with anxiety, addiction, developmental trauma, depression, and relational issues. At the core of my approach is an attitude of warmth, acceptance, and faith in my client's innate capacity for healing and transformation. Often people come to therapy with a sense of disempowerment. The impulse to reach out in hope of finding a caring, safe, or 'true other' shows your innate wisdom and strength. We are all in desperate need of help and connection. The implicit hope is that you can do more than just survive.
