I specialize in working with adults who are actively engaged in their work, education, or family life but may be struggling in one or two areas. Whether it’s managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating significant life decisions, you will gain the support and guidance you need. My ideal client is someone who has the capacity for self-awareness and is motivated to make positive changes in their life. Life can be overwhelming, and it’s not uncommon to feel less than satisfied in certain areas—be it at home, work, school, or within your social circles.

I am honored to be of service to you. I know that trauma and substance abuse and addiction can wreak havoc in one's life. Many of client's find themselves faced with challenges of having to restart their lives during mental challenges and addiction; some may have to fight to regain custody of their children; many of them have co-occurring mental illness that has lead to substance abuse and/or addiction. For some, addiction comes by way of biological, environmental, and social influences, but from my experience, I have learned that mental illness was present before addiction became a factor.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in many settings within the community. Working with children and families experiencing foster care I have seen how trauma, loss, and grief impact the mind and the soul. But it also allowed me to see the power of resilience and the capacity for amazing change and progress. In my clinical work I take a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach to help individuals learn, grow, and thrive. I have helped individuals experiencing grief, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, depression, trauma, and adjustment problems.

Specializing in complex trauma and chronic childhood traumatization, I am a Emdria Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, and teach EMDR nationally with the EMDR Institute as a Facilitator. EMDR is the top choice of the World Health Organization for trauma, given both research validation, and EMDR's ability to heal without clients re-living or speaking excessively about terrible events. Integration of other methods such as Ego State Therapy enables me to treat the complex trauma spectrum, from CPTSD to dissociative disorders. Many treatment-resistant or confusing symptoms are the result of complex trauma. I treat all ages.
