My clients have the courage and determination to face their challenges and find their truths. They may be ready to face trauma, heal relationships, or overcome barriers to living in joy. I embrace the opportunity to join with them to offer support, encouragement and fresh new perspectives as they explore their relationships and identities within this world. I continue to learn and grow from my clients every single day, and it is my greatest joy.
I offer a variety of counseling styles, tailored to the needs of the client and/or family. EMDR is a technique to gently assist the mind's desire to naturally heal from trauma, patterns learned from family dynamics, etc. (Yes, this can be done virtually!) Let's schedule a 15-minute consultation, and I'll explain in more detail how it can benefit you.
You are already taking the road toward healing, just by searching out therapists. This process can be intimidating, and it can also be the start to a wonderful new relationship with a guide, your world and even yourself! You may not know "what questions to ask" as you begin your search. Let me help you with that! Feel free to schedule a quick chat now.
