Reaching out for help is difficult, but giving yourself the opportunity for emotional healing is an incredible gift to offer yourself and your loved ones. Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and anger can surface from a multitude of stressors: relationships, work, parenting, or a difficult past resurfacing in your present life. I work with people to help create meaning out of difficulty and embrace a healthier life. Through identifying and coming to grips with fears, we are better able to know ourselves so we can connect in healthy ways in existing relationships, as well as build valuable new ones.
My integrative approach views the therapeutic relationship as the centerpiece of therapy. I have experience working with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, complex trauma, PTSD, spirituality, anger, grief and relationship issues. Additionally, I have experience helping those given labels of Bipolar, Borderline and a variety of Personality Disorders,
I am an LCPC with advanced training in treating trauma. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities and am a Certified EMDR Therapist (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I welcome the opportunity to hold safe space for those in pain. Please call if you would like more information or to schedule a session.
