Trauma is any adverse experience that causes extreme emotional reaction: nightmares, flashbacks, anxiety etc. When meeting with me many reach their destination feeling guilty for their response to their unique experience — because its “less than” others. As we begin the journey to health and recovery, I assure all that their individual experience is different and unique. Our goal is to get to the point where you know that your feelings/emotions are not better or worse than another’s, as all individuals have a right to their feelings. No trauma is better, worse, harder or easier than another because it depends on how we react.

My preferred style of therapy is short-term, skills-based, solution focused therapy. Teaching you how to manage anxiety is a major part of therapy and developing skills will be a significant part of our work together. I have extensive training in EMDR and use it often to help clients resolve distressing memories or lingering symptoms of trauma. Clients report a high success rate of symptom relief using EMDR both in person and via Telehealth. During the months of November-April, sessions are offered via Telehealth ONLY.
