My ideal client is someone ready to make changes in their life. Feeling the impact of stress, burn out or vicarious trauma? Experience an on the job accident or critical incident? I am a certified EMDR therapist with a passion for helping other helping professionals and high risk occupations (first responders, nurses, military) (and their families age 14+) overcome the challenges that life can bring. In addition to the typical outpatient appointment model, I offer extended therapy session for intensives (90+ mins). My approach to therapy is centered on empathy, active listening, and providing a safe and nurturing environment.
Throughout my career, I have worked with people of all walks of life, each facing their own unique set of challenges. Whether you are struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or PTSD, my aim is to help you get back on track and regain your sense of balance and well-being.
Through a combination of mindfulness, polyvagal, CBT and EMDR protocols, we’ll work together to release limiting beliefs and negative emotions, allowing you to break free from the past and move forward towards a happier future. Don’t let the pain of the past hold you back any longer-I encourage you to reach out and schedule a free consultation with me today
