Are you wanting to feel differently or have something change in your life but dont know how to get there? Sometimes we just need help generating the internal and external life we crave. I believe that early relationships in our life affect the way we think, feel, and behave towards the people we care about. It even changes the way our brains develop and personalities express themselves! I use a variety of interventions to support you in uncovering patterns that are causing problems, heal, and learn new ways of being. You have many strengths just waiting to be used. It would be an honor to walk alongside you.
I have specialized training or certification in anxiety and depression treatment, trauma resolution, PTSD, ADHD, and adolescent issues. I use evidence based approaches (EMDR, CBT, DBT, IFS and others) that can give you powerful tools to train your brain against anxiety, depression, emotional distress, anger issues, and other struggles.
My approach is warm, real, sometimes direct, and often playful. I love empowering adults with tools to help themselves and, sometimes, to help their children. Though I enjoy working with a variety of clients and issues, my special interest is working with families and their children/adolescents on the many issues families face today. Please reach out!
