Feelings can be tricky. Thoughts, relationships, responsibilities, society can be overwhelming. But whatever the issue you cannot escape your feelings; which is still uncomfortable for some. The good news is, you are not the sum of your feelings. And no feeling or thought makes you a good or bad person, just human. In fact, we are built to experience the full range of human emotions, though many of us are not taught or encouraged to reflect on our inner world leaving us with no idea what to do with all of these feelings. And it is often what we are doing or not doing about our feelings that can keep us from living our fullest lives.

Helping clients navigate the spaces from where they have been, where they are, and where they are going is essential to my work as a licensed mental health counselor. I have taken this approach in my work with clients across a wide range of ages and backgrounds and a variety of settings, including veteran residential facilities and partial hospitalization group therapy programs. Drawing from my own experiences as a veteran, my goal is to help others transition from one stage of life to the next while making meaning of the whole of their lives, and have made that a primary focus to the work I do today.

After twelve years and five colleges and universities, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Bridgewater State College. I began to teach science to adolescent males who were committed to the Department of Youth Services and residing in a residential program. During a monthly staff meeting, I observed people meeting with the youth privately and I noticed a difference in the attitudes and behaviors in the youth after these sessions. Most of the youth appeared more relaxed and receptive to life demands and for the first time in my life I thought “Wow, I would like to do that.”

Everyone has days or moments that make us think, "Maybe I should talk to someone about this." It can be hard to look our lives in the face, but if you feel ready to take that first step, I might be a good someone to talk to. The pain that sends us to a therapist can feel unrelenting and unsolvable. The good news is that there are many ways to approach such problems. I am focused on helping you figure out what is really going on and how that affects you, look at what you are already likely doing to get by, and help you figure out even better solutions and relief.

Many people come to EMDR after finding that traditional therapy methods haven’t fully addressed their trauma or the emotional difficulties they face. EMDR can be especially effective for those who are dealing with:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),
Childhood trauma or abuse,
Sexual assault or domestic violence,
Grief and loss,
Anxiety, panic attacks, or phobias, or
Emotional or physical reactions tied to specific memories.
If you find that you’re "stuck" in your trauma or that certain events or memories continue to trigger intense emotional responses, EMDR could offer you the relief that other therapies may not have.
