We all need a safe space. My goal is for our session to be yours. I provide a comfortable, supportive, and empathetic setting for my clients in person and through Tele/Video therapy. I specialize in grief, depression, anxiety, chronic pain/chronic illness, trauma, and complex trauma, including experience with veterans, first responders, and their family members. I believe that I am here to provide an collaborative, authentic, caring experience to aid in your healing journey.
I am a EMDR therapist who also integrates appropriate talk therapies as needed for my clients. I believe an eclectic approach best helps me to provide a safe, supportive environment for clients. I look forward to working with you to navigate the challenges that cause stress in day-to-day life.
I believe in the client being the expert on themselves. I am committed to validating the experiences of my clients and ensuring they feel heard. My specialties include: ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, LGBTQ+ Issues, Grief, Trauma, Phase of Life Issues, Relationship strategies, and Women's Issues.
