Guided by a formal Masters degree and certifications in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Hypnotherapy, EMDR, SFBT, CBT, Trauma-Informed Recovery, Timeline Rapid Release, and Somatic (Body & Energy) Coaching - you're well cared for through this diverse skillset.
Do you struggle with worries like not measuring up as a parent? Do you often put your own needs at the bottom of your to-do list? Do you wonder when life will start to feel happier? More in control? Now, more than ever, parents with special kids feel anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to deal with this unstable world. Often, as the focus shifts to things outside ourselves, we feel less valued, empty, even lost - we wonder if we're doing it right? Our needs get overlooked, impacting body, mind, and spirit. I believe it shouldn't be so hard to get answers about being a great parent.

I use a variety of approaches to help you work through your struggles, including EMDR.
Many of us silently cope with difficulties in our lives. But you don't have to. Reaching out to a therapist for support gives you the opportunity to explore what is holding you back and start improving your quality of life. People have the capacity to make positive changes in their lives with the right support and guidance. With support, you will tap into your strengths, find hope, and heal emotional wounds. I work with individual adults who are experiencing mental health issues (anxiety, depression, etc), trauma, phobias, negative self-esteem, family of origin issues, work issues, and relationship issues.

I've completed advanced training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and I have comprehensive basic training in EMDR.
Maybe you’re here because you really want things to be different but you’re not sure how or what to do. Maybe you cycle through feelings of incompetence, periods of heightened stress, or you can’t quite get your intentions and actions to align in your relationships. The truth is, sometimes we don’t see ourselves very clearly, it’s partially why having a safe person reflect back what we say and do, can be so powerful.

When working with trauma-related disturbances and/or neurodivergence disorders, I can guide my clients through unmasking, EMDR, or several modified treatment opportunities.

And remember, the journey itself is the reason we grow. My professional and personal goal is to guide you to see the courage that you already possess.

I am a trauma informed therapist who has completed training in EMDR, CBT, DBT, ACT, Gottman, and additional trauma trainings.
Choosing yourself can be a struggle. Especially if you’ve been conditioned to choose others since your younger years. It’s never too late to start now and begin to prioritize your own needs. If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself or others you are not alone. Therapy is a safe space to restore your mental, emotional, and relational health. I have a deep passion for helping people grieve their losses, process their traumas, celebrate their wins, take their power back, and learn to love and trust themselves after trauma.
