I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor specializing in trauma, chronic pain, and grief issues in children and adults. With decades of experience working with families in many different life situations, I can help you learn skills to help cope with life stressors. As a national certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral therapist and an EMDR therapist, I am trained in evidenced-based therapies that will help your family work through difficult situations. I also treat adults struggling to adapt after the sudden, traumatic death of a loved one and adults who experience chronic pain.

I often use EMDR in my practice. EMDR Therapy helps people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. CBT helps reframe negative thought patterns. DBT focuses on emotion regulation and interpersonal skills. Each approach tailors treatment to individual needs, aiming for healthier coping strategies and improved well-being. You are not alone. There is a path to healing.
