As a counselor, I am committed to being present, open, and accepting with you. Much of my practice consists of helping clients heal core wounds. I also work with professionals who are over-stressed or who are adjusting to life with a mental illness or psychological injury.
I’m a Certified EMDR Therapist. EMDR is a form of therapy that helps people heal from trauma or other overwhelming life experiences. I use interpersonal therapy to help clients identify and fulfill unmet needs, set healthy boundaries, and improve communication. I use mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral approaches to help promote stability.
My method of practice is adaptive, holistic, existential, and interpersonal. You can expect warmth, kindness, and respect from the first phone call, to the first session, and throughout the entire counseling process.

I often use the Adaptive Information Processing model in my practice. With AIP, we can help you understand how stressful events in life may have temporarily interrupted your innate processing system and contributed to stuck emotions, perceptions, and sensations, which may now be causing problems. During treatment, I can help you safely reprocess these events using EMDR so that you can have relief.
