My why as a therapist - to cut through the systemic issues in the mental health system and connect with people on a meaningful level that makes a difference. I do this work to help people heal at a core level. I believe people are capable of far more than just reducing the symptoms of a diagnosis. So I focus on helping you as a person, not a diagnosis. There are so many problems with our approach to mental health care in this country, don't even get me started. I can't solve them all. But what I can do is meet you with compassion, open-mindedness, and hear you out as the individual you are.
As an EMDR therapist with additional training for complex trauma, I specialize in helping clients safely access and reprocesses the core memories and experiences that are often at the root of their issues. Don't worry, this doesn't happen in the first session. I will meet you where you are and follow your lead for where therapy to needs to go.
As someone who has dealt with trauma, life, and finding help myself, I know how hard it can be to take a risk and reach out for help. But taking that leap of faith can prove to be one of the most rewarding decisions of your life. I'd be honored to assist you on your journey.
