If you're browsing here you may have many mixed emotions about reaching out for help. It's so important to have a good fit between you and a therapist for change to happen. I'd love to see if we can work together, or at least help you have some hope that you could find a great fit with someone. I typically provide services for those experiencing depression, anxiety, and chronic pain or illness. I support you in focusing on concrete tools, coping skills, and thinking, feeling and action patterns to support resolving your symptoms or managing a long term condition.
I've been working with families, women and children for over twenty years. I've blended providing direct counseling services with oversight and leadership of mental health service providers. I am trained in EMDR treatment and have been providing it for over four years to address trauma, anxiety and depression.

I often use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR (Neuroscience based belief restructuring) and Internal Family Systems therapy. In your first session we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and some of your history. Then we'll plan for how to build up your coping skills, shift your thinking and possibly do some deeper work to rewire brain patterns with EMDR.
