If you are working to manage the multiple roles of parent, spouse, and employee, or you are feeling burned out and not sure where to start, you aren't alone! Managing your mental health needs and the needs of your family, working through previous or recent trauma to get through blocks in your relationships, or considering how you can move forward from old patterns can all happen in the context of a safe, therapeutic relationship!
I utilize trauma and attachment-informed modalities including EMDR to help you develop insight into the patterns present in your life. I collaborate with you to develop strengths and challenge troublesome or unwanted aspects of your patterns to have more connected, satisfying relationship with yourself and others.
Taking the time to engage in something for yourself is not selfish. Feeling stuck in blame or guilt can keep us stuck. Let's build the skills you need to thrive as a parent, person, and employee. Finding yourself in burnout or experiencing stress or trauma doesn't mean you aren't capable of healing. Reach out today!

I often use Person Centered therapy in my practice alongside other trauma-informed approaches including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I enjoy utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with attachment theory informed interventions that honor the therapeutic relationship. I take a collaborative approach to tailor the therapeutic process for each client.
