Therapy is a wonderful type of self-care and tool. It aids in positive changes and healing relationships. My work is about supporting clients in reaching their goals. I provide a positive space, and warm therapeutic relationship. This perspective allows clients to develop insight into the patterns of their behaviors and to learn coping skills that will help bring about resilience and positive change.
I have over 15 years experience providing individual, couples and family therapy. My main focus of expertise is helping clients manage anxiety, relationship issues, enhancing communication and assisting clients in creating a work/life balance that best works for them. I have also worked for many years helping clients heal from past traumatic experiences.
I have a strength based perspective and I am trained in multiple evidenced based models that deal with, trauma, including EMDR, as well positive parenting and self care. I look forward to hearing from perspective clients and beginning to build a helping and supportive relationship.

I often use EMDR and this is a evidenced based trauma treatment that involves understanding and healing from past experiences as well as learning new helpful coping strategies. I will help you process past experiences so that you can best show up for your current and future self. I am so trained in CBT and DBT and take a strength based approach.
