I specialize in helping those ages 16 and older recover from trauma using integrative treatment approaches, including EMDR. My clients typically come to me feeling anxious, depressed, stuck, trapped, hopeless, or helpless. Usually, it's adverse, traumatic experiences and uncomfortable memories from our past that lead us to feel these ways in the present. Trauma might occur from one life-defining experience such as a life-threatening

An ideal client is someone who may struggle with anxiety, depression, forming or maintaining close relationships, loss of normalcy, death of a loved one, and/or work-induced stress. Life may be so busy that they may not even have time to consider what brings joy, creativity, and inspiration. Maybe they feel overburdened by the never ending list of needs from others in their life and they just need a safe place to express themselves. Many people have professional careers, families, own property, etc. However they may feel stuck and unable to cope with unresolved grief and loss, anxiety, depression and that's where I can help.
