Hi, there are a lot of great therapists to choose from, but for the moment, you and I have landed on the same page. If your looking for what makes me different, I've been around a few years and have been through a lot. I get it. I am also trained as a trauma therapist and have a specialized training in couples therapy. I work with families, individuals, couples and children. My only goal is help you feel better, I do that through holding space for you during the hard stuff and challenging you to think differently about possible solutions. I am warm and kind, but I will tell it like it is when you need to hear it.
Do you sense a quiet exhaustion? Does it feel like you tend to just push through it? Trauma can be the culprit. Even small event's that don't seem like trauma can stick. EMDR (eye movement therapy) is an evidence-based therapy that works with the mind’s natural processing system similar to what happens during REM sleep to help process unresolved experiences.
You don't need to live with sadness, guilt, or shame. Whether you've had an argument with a loved one that leaves you feeling empty, stuck, and plagued with self-doubt, or your just generally sad or filled with anxiety, there is hope and healing in your future, you deserve to live the best life possible, I can walk with you through that journey of healing.

I use a unique and effective approach in assisting couples get to the root of the problem and create long-term change in a safe and non-blaming environment. I work collaboratively to let each person feel heard and validated as we solve the issues together. I also use EMDR and Somatic Therapy, a specialized treatment for trauma, which can be at the root of many relationship issues.
