Maybe you’re struggling. And maybe your relationships feel complicated. Maybe there are parts of life where you feel stuck and even though you know there are ways you could start moving in a direction that feels better, you either can’t see the path or get yourself to take the steps. Together, you and I will work toward understand you better—the stories you tell yourself, the choices you make, the relationships you love, and the behaviors that are holding you back. We can strengthen your feeling of connection to yourself and others.
My career began as a middle school teacher. I made a shift to counseling, and worked with adolescents in crisis, which launched a professional focus on trauma-based experiences. I am EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) trained; a psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the emotional distress that results from those experiences.
Taking the first step toward counseling can feel difficult and overwhelming. I'm only a phone call or an email away! Let's start the conversation about how you can get the support you need. Even if I'm not the right fit for you, it will be my honor to be part of your initial steps toward something new.
