I tailor my approach to meet the needs of those who come to see me, but offer every individual the respect and compassion they deserve. Maybe you are seeking insight and awareness for the purpose of personal growth. Perhaps you are looking to address a particular issue and need someone who can be goal directed and offer specific skills and feedback. Maybe it's hard to name just what is going on and this is one of the reasons you have decided to seek help. No two people come to therapy for the same reason because no two people are the same.

Master relationships, and begin to flourish toward your personal and professional goals.

I am an EMDR Trained Clinician and Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional who specializes in treating trauma with a background in marriage and family. Additional EMDR training allows me to specifically help performers reach peak performance and work past mental blocks or "yips". Post-EMDR areas of growth may include identity formation, boundaries, and communication skills. Overall, I want my clients to be equipped to pursue a healthy, productive lifestyle. Using an integrative approach, I help clients increase self-efficacy by educating them on health practices they control that positively impact their mental wellbeing.

The presence of mental health struggles and the need for interpersonal support on your journey of self-discovery, self-care, self-love, and self-healing should not feel like a burden, but for many individuals it does. As a therapist, my goal is to meet you where you are in your mental health journey and offer you the permission, opportunity, and non-judgemental space to unapologetically process your mental health.

I have decades of experience and extensive training in trauma, substance abuse, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. I have a wealth of knowledge about the legal, school, and healthcare systems. I am comfortable working with people from every walk of life, including those who are people of color, disabled, and/or who identify as LGBTQ+. I specialize in working with adolescents and have worked with numerous trauma survivors. Mental health issues are often the direct result, not of individual responses to stress, but a reaction to a variety of societal ills - racism, homophobia and transphobia, ableism, economic inequality, etc.

Life is a gift that brings many joyful opportunities AND it also brings times of pain, suffering and added pressure. Perhaps you've found it harder to enjoy the blessings of life lately because of a hard transition, a difficult relationship or a traumatic event. Perhaps you've found yourself using destructive habits to cope with the stress such as dysfunctional eating, excessive alcohol use, perfectionism or isolation. Perhaps you're very hard on yourself and have a very loud inner critic in your head, and part of the struggle is negative body image. And perhaps you also want support from a spiritual perspective.

As a therapist, I want to focus on the areas you are avoiding or where your functionality is diminished and help you get back to your regular way of life. Therapy isn't about throwing you in the deep end of the pool; it's about giving you the tools to swim there and tread water. Helping people change their perspective on life is truly fulfilling. Trust the process. Be open to your world shifting pretty drastically. Therapy can be hard work, and it can get worse before it gets better, but that 'better' is worth it. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for people with OCD.

Within all of us is a story- when we are unable to express or recognize our own narratives we suffer. Each person needs space, a place where they can just be human and express how their stories have come to pass and all they wish to explore. By providing this space clients can work through their emotive disconnections and hone in on the steps that feel right to them when they feel ready for them.

Sometimes we all feel alone. We can be standing in a room filled with people, surrounded by individuals whom we often call friends, but still feel a deep-seeded sense that no one understands us. Maybe there are days when you feel anxious. Your heart beats rapidly and your chest feels heavy, but you can't put your finger on why. Perhaps you are going through a life transition: changing grades, changing jobs, getting married or divorced, and need an objective eye to help you navigate the situation. Whatever challenges your life holds, I would be honored to accompany you through your life’s journey.
