I'm a trauma specialist and love what I do! I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy, a highly effective, evidence-based approach to treating trauma and other emotional wounds.
I specialize in trauma, neurodiversity affirming care and LGBTQ+ affirming care. Many of my patients have been able to significantly reduce symptoms of depression, panic, anxiety and flashbacks. My goal is to help people unburden from the past, connect to what matters most, and move towards a life worth living.

My goal is to help people unburden from the past, connect to what matters most, and move towards a life worth living.
I am EMDR trained, however, in order to serve each client and their specific needs, I utilize a variety of evidence based models.
As humans, we all experience hurt, overwhelm, and uncertainty at times. Many of us have had traumatic upbringings that have altered our perceptions of life. Sometimes, we feel as if our past doesn't affect us but somehow we still feel defeated, hopeless, and controlled by difficult emotions, such as sadness, anger, and anxiety. I believe that unresolved trauma and other issues can hinder our progression and cause us to become trapped in cycles that we are unsatisfied with. Because of this, I work diligently to help connect the dots between past and present experiences to facilitate understanding, acceptance, and growth.

I use a blend of self-compassion training, culturally-grounded Belief Systems Analysis, Energy Psychology, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR), and traditionally Western psychological approaches to help you transform self-defeating patterns into ones that support your new direction.
Counseling requires a commitment of time, resources, and effort that can be hard to carve out in these busy times. My focus is on using our sessions to help you make the desired changes as efficiently as possible. We are working to get you unstuck and moving in a better direction. With that in mind, I use a goal-focused, strategic counseling model. This process works well if you are truly ready for change but may not know how to get there.

I have been a therapist for many years, ( ~ 38-man I sound old) and have studied many theories and learned many therapeutic techniques, some more valuable than others. However, what's most important is the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. A client must come to trust their therapist, feel accepted and have faith that their therapist knows what they are doing clinically. That being said, I have found Cognitive Behavioral techniques,, EMDR for trauma, Acceptance and Commitment therapy and others effective.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
