Are your feeling stuck or overwhelmed with panic attacks, anxiety, or PTSD symptoms? Trauma comes in many forms, and if left unprocessed, it can lead to chronic anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, somatic symptoms, or overwhelming feelings of shame. I especially enjoy working with PTSD and complex PTSD, first responders, and sexual assault survivors. I also specialize in working with neurodivergent adults who may be undiagnosed or newly diagnosed with ADHD and/or Autism.
I treat trauma/PTSD and panic attacks with EMDR therapy. EMDR reduces trauma and anxiety symptoms more quickly than other forms of talk therapy. With neurodivergent individuals, we focus on self-acceptance, less masking and more authenticity, and how to advocate for your needs with family, friends, or at work.
My goal is to help you find safety and connection in our work together. My style is warm and engaging, while also being very goal oriented and direct. Please call, e-mail, or visit my website to schedule a free 15 minute consultation.

While I primarily use EMDR in my practice, I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused approaches. The first session will focus on what brought you to therapy, what success might look like for you, and give you a chance to ask questions and get to know me. After that, we will discuss goals and a treatment plan.
