CBT, DBT and EMDR provide you with multiple approaches to form healthy alternative thoughts through the implementation of evidence based interventions.
On too many occasions life has presented you with a difficult set of obstacles. The current crisis jeopardizes your interpersonal relationships, career, and mental stability. As a client struggling with mental distress / trauma it is difficult to trust in a world you view as dishonest, dangerous, and judgmental.

By integrating my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR), and other techniques, I’m able to facilitate the process of targeting the root cause of my clientele’s symptoms.
I work with a range of clients and issues, but specialize in complex trauma and dissociation. I also do a lot of therapy with teens, young adults, and the LGBTQIA+ community. My biggest strengths as a counselor are my compassion and open-mindedness. I meet clients where they are at, tailoring the work to your preferences and needs, whether you would benefit most from talk therapy, skill building, trauma processing, or a combination of these. This allows for individualized treatment plans and use of creative, validating techniques.

I believe every client I see is more than their problems or labels. I complete a thorough assessment, so I can customize treatment to meet clients where they are and help them toward their goals.

You’ve reached the point in your where you know that you need something else but what? There are so many paths to healing that it’s overwhelming  You know that inner healing is essential, but the mindfulness apps and counting to ten aren’t addressing the issues as promised by the experts on podcasts. You want to uncover the root of the big emotions within. You know the things that have helped in the past but just coping isn’t enough.

Life can be stressful, and even oftentimes overwhelming. Stressors and trauma can impact our lives in many ways, negatively contributing to our physical and emotional health. I believe the mind has the innate capacity to heal. Therapy can provide the key to unlocking our own power to make positive changes, improving how we respond to life's challenges. The process of change and emotional growth is one that starts with the initial step of reaching out.

I use EMDR and RLT (Relational Life Therapy) to assist people in discovering freedom and joy in life.
Hello and Welcome. Would you like help finding your way to a more peaceful, balanced, and joyful experience in life? I am available to help you. Often the past interferes with the present day by triggering anxiety, fear, panic, sadness, depression, anger, or a sense of numbness. Our sense of well-being falls apart when we experience these feelings on a daily basis. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or that you fall short of your potential in many areas. Relationships can feel tense, dissatisfying, or dysfunctional. I am compassionate and skilled in helping people find relief from the things that keep them from thriving in life.
