Do you shadowbox memories from the past? Do you struggle to live in the present because of intrusive thoughts from past events? My practice is for those unable to experience joy or move forward in daily life due to previous traumatic events. There is a way out of the darkness and a path to peace. Together we can find it. Using EMDR and other therapies, I will walk with you as we sift the past and find a life of rest and resolve. For children struggling with self-regulation, I offer EMDR-based play therapy. Parents must be supportive of home-based interventions and activities that bring change.

Are you ready for a change? It is not always easy to express our feelings with words alone. There are many challenges life throws at us, but sometimes we can work through them best by doing what comes naturally - creating. In my experience everyone is a born creator. I can help you use art and artistic expression to confront your deepest fears and begin the process of healing. You may be stronger than you think.

Everyone wants to live feeling fulfilled and happy; that is a universal truth deeply rooted in our human nature. While we all share that truth, figuring out exactly what makes us feel fulfilled and happy isn’t always easy. Sometimes we find ourselves feeling just a little bit off. Other times we find ourselves completely lost, deeply unhappy, and consistently unfulfilled. Whatever the case may be, experiencing meaningful and lasting positive change is entirely possible - and that is exactly what I help my clients achieve in the warmest, non-judgmental, and productive atmosphere possible.

*Individuals, Couples, Adults, Teens & Children* We are shaped by our experiences and what we believe about them, but we can all be re-shaped by new information, awareness, and insight which helps to change how you view your past experiences, a "want-to" and consistent and deliberate effort. Whether we have experienced the pain of trauma, divorce, neglect, "wrong" choices, career challenges, relationship/marital issues or feelings of helplessness or hopelessness, it doesn't negate the PURPOSE for which you were created and the success which awaits you.
