I work with teens, adults, parents, veterans, and law enforcement who are tired of pretending, trying to survive, and holding it together alone. Many of my clients have been struggling for years, been in higher levels of care, and have tried therapy that didn't go deep enough. I specialize in trauma, self-harm, parent/ family support and dissociative disorders. I have a particular heart for those whose lives have demanded or taken things that most people only hear about. Whatever you have survived in silence, watched your teen suffer through, brought home from the line of duty, or buried so deep it feels forgotten. I can handle it.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with specialized training in trauma and complex presentations. My approach is warm and collaborative, but I will not tiptoe around hard things. I use proven tools like EMDR, Flash Technique, parts work (IFS), etc. For those who want their faith woven into the healing process, I am able to offer care that honors both.
Collaborative therapy leads to lasting change. If you are ready for work that goes deep, hits the root, and actually moves you forward, I would love to be the one in your corner. You do not have to have it all figured out before you call. You don't even have to know where to start. You just have to be willing to show up.

Healing from trauma, self-harm, and the spectrum of dissociation is possible with the right approach. I use EMDR as a primary treatment method because it works at the level where trauma actually lives. Sessions are available in a 90 minute format or as intensives spanning 3 to 5 hours over one to five days. Intensives allow us to go deeper, faster, without the stop and start of weekly therapy.

My approach is relational, direct, and tailored to you. I do not believe in cookie cutter therapy, and I will not keep you in treatment longer than needed. We will identify what is keeping you stuck, address it at the root, and build something more sustainable. You will always know where we are headed and why. Maintenance support also has it's place in treatment and will be assessed as needed.
