Many people come to a counselor not knowing what to expect. The hardest part about coming to counseling is being willing to open up to an outside person about your most significant struggles and stressors in life. Opening up to a counselor means getting unbiased support and feedback to empower you to make the best decisions for yourself and/or your family. I aim to foster your healing, grow your self-confidence, and improve your self-image.
I am a trained in EMDR and I am also a Certified First Responder Counselor. My passion for social work began in healthcare, where I gained 13 years of experience working in hospitals. My time spent in healthcare allowed me to serve clients dealing with trauma, grief and loss, chronic illness, mental health issues, and adjustment issues.
I am compassionate and accepting. I also believe in getting to the heart of the issues and in finding practical solutions. I support my clients while also challenging each one to try new behaviors and grow. Therapy is hard work, but it is worth it.

If you are struggling with past trauma, PTSD symptoms, phobias, or avoidant behavior we can target this with EMDR. EMDR is very effective and the goal is to work through the trauma or fear in a few sessions, moving efficiently through the items on your timeline, until all of the events are processed in a more adaptive way.
