EMDR Intensives can help you feel relief faster than traditional therapy. Are you a healthcare professional or first responder suffering from repeated negative thoughts, intrusive images, flashbacks, or sleepless nights due to work-related stress? The cumulative impact of high-pressure situations, trauma exposure, and the emotional demands of your role can lead to symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and work-related stress. You dedicate yourself to the well-being of others, often at the expense of your own mental health. EMDR therapy and EMDR Intensives offer solutions to help you heal and reclaim your life.

My goal as your therapist is to meet you where you are at and help you navigate through the process of growth and healing. I have been in the human service field in some capacity since 2009.

Do you find yourself in many high conflict situations at home, work, and in the community? Military, educational, and life experiences have resulted in my deep knowledge base for working with adults who've experienced trauma and stress.

These modalities assist in providing well-rounded counseling services for those with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, relationship, career, parenting, and family issues.

I am first, a client-centered therapist. I believe therapy should be about the client and be met with unconditional positive regard. There is no place for judgment in therapy, and I am here to help you process and make your own decisions, not to tell you what to do.
