I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

In addition to my mental health and addictions training I am EMDR trained with a passion for working in integrative mental health. She considers herself a therapist who thoroughly enjoys hearing the stories of others and educating them on how to view their stories as journeys to victory over past adversities as they move on to reach goals previously thought unattainable.
