Navigating unexpected situations or traumas, dealing with anxiety/depression can overwhelm our sense of being present in the moment and we may feel trapped inside our feelings. Sometimes difficulties have been present since childhood, left unattended or pushed down repeatedly over the years. Some clients come to counseling seeking ways to deal with a specific trauma, domestic violence, grief, loss, anger, or other distressing emotions, leaving someone feeling isolated, stuck, and without resources. Taking the next step, asking for help inside of counseling, brings you closer to the destination of recovery.
There is no one size fits all approach for therapy, therefore I use a therapeutic style eclectic in nature, interweaving many different approaches to meet the needs and goals of the client. I am trained and Certified in EMDR and specialize in trauma work to include complex, developmental and single incident (PTSD), along with anxiety/depression and others.
Whether you are struggling with a specific trauma, grief and loss, anger, depression, anxiety, or feeling challenged with a bipolar disorder or personality traits that interfere in relationships and career momentum, taking the first step inside of counseling is when your journey begins in earnest.

Many trauma clients present with some level of dissociation, which is something I work with through a few different modalities, Mindfulness, Somatic work, DBT, IFS, and CP, then once stabilized, moving towards EMDR. The initial sessions explore a client's background, strengths, resources, and tools and then add to those skills before addressing the core trauma, the anxiety, or the depression.
