I feel there are times when we struggle with difficult events, finding meaning in life and navigating through inevitable changes that arise. I believe healing from negative experiences is possible and there are efficient and effective ways to achieve this. I also believe in helping others grow and build resiliency to thrive in the life they want to live. We will work together in an environment that is comfortable, safe, and non-judgmental so that you can meet your goals.
I've had the privilege of walking along side many different individuals on their journey to improving their lives since 2009. I am trained in trauma-informed care, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have vast experience with a wide variety of client concerns & challenges, and I bring a solution-focused approach.
I firmly believe that all of us have the capacity to increase our resiliency and strengthen our minds. I have watched people go through difficult events and come out stronger on the other side. We will work together to figure out what treatment approach is most comfortable and effective for you, and I consider it a privilege to be a part of that journey.
