As we navigate this human experience, it would seem that the only thing we can count on is change. Change can come in the form of major life adjustments such as employment, death and loss, deployments, school, being pushed outside of our comfort zone, as well as a variety of other circumstances that can turn our world upside down. What is important to remember is that you are not alone, and there is support to help you navigate through these challenging times. I am here to support you on this journey, and allow you to find solace and closure where needed.

I am trained in a few different trauma focused modalities including EMDR and IFS.
Finding the right counselor can be a difficult task. Therapists are a lot like shoes, there are so many to choose from. Some will fit you and some won’t, but once you find the pair that fits just right, then you can run faster than ever before. That is why it is helpful to use the first few sessions to “try on” the therapeutic fit with a new counselor and see how it feels. In my office, the first few sessions I focus on trying to understand more of your story and where you’re at, then to assess together how therapy can be most helpful so we make sure you’re getting what you’re looking for out of therapy.
