Good therapy is about having a voice and working towards positive change. Are you tired of doing things on your own? What if you could live your life without basing who you are/how you feel on the opinion of others, words, or, memories of the past? Trauma, relationships, addiction/substance use, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and/or watching loved ones struggle with either addiction or mental illness can all have major impacts on our ability to live our best lives. I've been in the industry over a decade and have been an acting clinical director over a 10 location mental health/substance use company for years.

My training in EMDR, IFS and CBT, gives me the tools you need and deserve when reaching for your highest potential.
I’m guessing, those crap moments of life are getting the best of you. They bring chaos that can suck the life out of us and literally ruin some or all areas we have worked so hard to be successful in; relationships, career growth, raising amazing kids, or even the small things like keeping the kitchen clean, not being late to work, brushing our teeth like we have been told our entire lives. Being consistently overwhelmed can create anxiety or depression, which often turns into isolation and irritation, and we become our worst critics. As you try to do all the things to manage life, there is still no relief.

I offer effective support through EMDR, and am certified in anxiety treatment, with extensive trauma training.
Is your past dictating your future? Do you find yourself repeating old patterns that keep you feeling stuck, preventing you from moving forward? Maybe you set impossible standards that lead to constant disappointment and self-judgment, people-please to avoid conflict, seek answers through worry and attempts at control, leaving you feeling unfulfilled and drained. How you treat and speak to yourself matters. Many of us struggle with an overly critical, judgmental, unforgiving internal dialogue but have difficulty knowing how to change it. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
