Anxiety, past traumas or life changes can present roadblocks that negatively impact your life. Does that sound familiar to what you are experiencing? It can feel hopeless and overwhelming when faced with these roadblocks, but I can help you. I work with individuals and families to assess what issues are impacting your life, then we collaboratively develop a plan to navigate a path of healing.
I specialize in working with individuals and families, primarily integrating EMDR, IFS, CBT and mindfulness. My goal in our work together is to support you or your family in working through the issues that bring you to therapy so that you can feel a sense of improvement in your quality of life.
You have taken the brave first step of searching for a therapist to help you with what you are going through! I invite you to take the second step and contact me for a 15 min. phone call so that you can see if we would be a good match to work together. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is one of the most important parts of the therapy process.
