Are you in emotional pain? Have you been through difficult or traumatic life experiences? Learning to deal with life's challenges and finding your way out of deep emotional pain can be overwhelming. The decision to attend counseling is not always easy and choosing the right therapist to partner with you is important. If you are ready to work to find hope and healing, I am ready to help you. My practice is effective because I work with all parts of the self-- helping you move through the difficult experiences you have encountered and help bring meaning back to life!
Psychotherapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, interpersonal neurobiology, attachment focused work, and talk therapy are all integral parts of my practice. I offer you a supportive environment to work through the emotional pain and suffering. I have passion to work with clients, heal emotional wounds, regain a sense of peace and help you move towards healing.
I work with adults, children and adolescents who are struggling with difficult life challenges and traumatic experiences. I believe in creating a safe and compassionate environment that is supportive of building a strong therapeutic relationship. My passion is my work-- helping you find solutions to create healing and hope for your future!
