I provide compassionate counseling, specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for PTSD and complex trauma. I am dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients can heal from past wounds, process difficult experiences, and find renewed hope and strength. By integrating clinical expertise with a with trauma therapy, I help individuals navigate their healing journey while releasing wounds from the present or the past.
We can work together to help you achieve a healthier and more balanced life. Using EMDR and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I will come along side you and work on the necessary tools to attain healthier thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so you can begin to experience the peace, calm, and sound transformation that you are desiring.
You may be wondering if what you are going through is that bad. The fact that you came across this website tells me you are probably ready to talk to someone and begin your transformational journey. There are ways for you to feel better and to even overcome the obstacles interrupting your life. I'm looking forward to helping you begin your healing journey.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or anxiety related trauma toward relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with EMDR to address how current thoughts and how past traumas are affecting you. During treatment you'll be given tools and techniques that will teach you and help change how you feel.
