You are walking through this world, with that inherent inner wisdom that tells you that you are ready, that it is time to unburden yourself from that trauma, that negative childhood experience, that grief from losing someone or something so valuable to you, or that ongoing depression and/or anxiety. With the right support, you believe that you can find balance and peace of mind and heart. If you want to find contentment, maybe working with a therapist can help you get on the right path. Licensed for 25 years and trained in a variety of methodologies. I can use that variety to create a personalized treatment plan for you.
I offer both traditional weekly psychotherapy sessions, as well as cutting edge, accelerated psychotherapy treatments such as Intensive EMDR, (2 or more hours per session, several times a week or weekends and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (via Journey Clinical). You can mix and match types of sessions that fit your schedule and needs. I am EMDRIA certified
I offer a caring and gentle, trauma-informed experience to my clients. If you are impacted by depression, anxiety, childhood trauma/neglect, dental or medical trauma, or surgical or natural menopause, I can help you move forward on your path to a more balanced life. I would be honored to help, and bear witness to, your healing and growth.
