Are you struggling with depression, fear, anxiety, overwhelmed by all the life’s demands or simply feel stuck? Are you haunted by wounds of past abuse or trauma, asking yourself how you can make this pain stop? Are you struggling in relationships and no longer experiencing joy? Are you using food or other unhelpful habits as coping mechanisms? You can recover. I have helped numerous people work through their pain and find relief from similar challenges when they take the first step to seek professional help. You will bring joy back into your life through inner child work, mindfulness and EMDR therapy including EMDR Intensives.
I'm a trauma therapist trained in EMDR and Brainspotting, the most effective treatments for complex trauma, resistant depression, anxiety, and disturbing memories. I hold dual licenses as a Mental Health Counselor and a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and this enables me to provide holistic counseling that incorporate nutrition as part of treatment.
If you're looking to get rid of what no longer serves you, I can help. You don't have to live life in pain or stuck. Majority of our clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, trauma, stress, or unhealthy relationship with food report improvements within the first few months. I am approved to supervise counselors in the state of Missouri.
