It's a different day, but it's the same story. Do you identify with this feeling? Are you feeling caught in a continuous cycle without significant change? If so, you're in the right place. Let's recognize how life can be vibrant, meaningful, and intentional. Let's identify the patterns, behaviors, actions, and ways we can become stuck in a story that may not be ours. In therapy, you can create positive habits and rituals to help manage stressors, heal trauma, and live intentionally with a daily practice of mental health wellness. I specialize in PTSD/Trauma, Racial Identity, Anxiety, family dynamics, spirituality, and grief.
I help clients by identifying barriers that hold them hostage from living a meaningful life. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I journey with you to reprocess and release things that no longer serve you. I provide skills and connect themes to help you learn to regulate and gain better control of your thoughts emotionally.
Life has challenges, and it can sometimes seem you are all alone. Therapy can provide a place to help you process, problem-solve, develop goals, and begin implementation to a better you! I can support you on your journey of healing and release. Email me today to schedule a free 20-minute phone consultation!

I work with clients using EMDR to gain a history of their trauma and to develop coping skills to manage the work of trauma reprocessing. In EMDR, the motto is, "Slow is fast," We will take time to ensure you can emotionally regulate and connect with your mind and body to amplify healing. Clients report a decrease in the intensity of symptoms within the first two months of sessions.

I am an EMDR-trained therapist (Basic Training) and use this modality to help clients who have experienced trauma within their lifespan to let the past be the past and the present be the present. I utilize CBT and DBT to assist in helping clients develop emotional regulation skills and to understand how the mind-body connection is vital in healing anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-identity.
