Using EMDR, Somatic, CBT/DBT, and a trauma focused approach I help individuals to take control of their life narrative.
Are you tired of feeling helpless? I believe everyone is doing the best they can! I help people find their inner strength by focusing on a person's whole experience including mind, body, and spirit. This allows a person to understand their experiences, take control and plan for a better tomorrow.
