Clients come to me looking for someone who “gets” their story. They want relief from daily symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as a never-ending struggle with people pleasing and perfectionism. Therapy should be a place where you feel safe to be your authentic self and supported every step of the way.
Sessions are focused specifically on your goals for healing, and I offer more than just talking; we incorporate the use of EMDR and/or ART, so you can heal as quickly and gently as possible. (Because who doesn’t want that!)
Also know that we always go at your pace, never pushing to places you don’t feel ready to be. Reach out today to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see how I can help. I can't wait to hear from you.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and you still feel anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed? I use what is called a "bottom up approach" to help people heal. Talk therapy is considered "top down." You can find more information on EMDR or ART therapy on my website to see how you can also heal, even after years of talk therapy that was not effective.
