I am best at helping people find their purpose, build themselves up from rock bottom, and to help people move from being stuck surviving into someone that is thriving in life's journey. Life circumstances and mental wellness varies when someone walks into my office, but I have witnessed people completely transform. One evidence based and effective approach I use is EMDR in both individual and group settings to move past trauma when feeling stuck in the healing process. When you need emotional healing, I am able to provide direction, understanding, and jump start a person's ability to take on the next life challenge.

There are a great number of hurdles and challenges facing people dealing with psychological disorders. There is also a social stigma when referring to mental health and mental health diagnoses. Having worked in many different types of mental health environments I have interacted with people who have bipolar disorder to disassociate disorder. I create a safe and effective environment for communicating and working through the many challenges faced by individuals. I strive to make a difference in people’s lives by focusing on the individual and the individual’s needs.

It is often difficult to explain exactly what therapy is and to best describe a therapist's approach. I like to think of therapy as looking at what has scraped you up emotionally, cleaning out that wound, and then healing so you can live a healthier and happier life. As to my approach clients, parents, and coworkers have described me as honest, kind, compassionate, nonjudgmental, interpersonal, solution focused, collaborative, and someone who will call you on your crap.
