Do your racing thoughts rarely give you a minute of peace? Do you feel judged when you try to explain to others how your past has impacted you? Someone brings up an innocuous topic and suddenly you’re panicking, heart pounding, searching for an exit. You may not even know what exactly is triggering you, but you find yourself searching for somewhere you can feel safe. As my client, you're safe with me. There are no judgements or unrealistic expectations when you step into my office. My mission as a therapist is to walk alongside you through the struggles you're facing in order to accomplish the goals that are most important to you.
I work with adults, college students, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community using trauma-informed, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), strength-based, and solution-focused approaches to help my clients process and overcome struggles in their lives. My clients are motivated, curious, and ready to tackle their trauma with me alongside them.
You are ready to see how your life can change for the better. Your trauma does not define you. You will become the strong, confident person that you know already lives within you. All you need to do is take the first step and reach out to me today. Let’s navigate the crossroads of your life together.
