Do you feel stuck? Do you need to get to the core of your problems? Are you overwhelmed by grief? Do you self medicate with drugs or alcohol? If traumatic memories haunt you while continuing to impact your relationships, sleep, and mood, consider Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR) My clinical experience has been with teens, college students, adults and families. EMDR works even if you are unable to recall all of the traumatic event. Clients tell me they want to change but don't know how. Let me show you how to begin. I watched a video where therapists rated methods of therapies; all ranked EMDR as 10/10 to assist with issues.
I specialize in treating addictive behaviors. I worked at The Grief Recovery Center prior to its closing so I have a special interest in working with grief. I have completed EMDR basic training. If talk therapy alone has not been effective, try EMDR. I come in with no expectations or agendas into my office. I allow my client to be the leader or the expert.
Let me show you how to move from feeling powerless to feeling in control. It's normal to seek help. Helping people uncover what creates a life filled with joy is my passion. I look forward to walking beside you in your healing journey. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to new client referrals.

I take most forms of commercial insurance and Medicaid, except Aetna Better Health. I do offer a sliding fee scale for those clients without insurance. I use a system called Ivy Pay for clients. It's similar to Venmo for therapy.

The main issues I assist my clients with are addiction, grief and trauma. I have training in suicide as well. I utilize EMDR and evidence based methods to assist clients in meeting their treatment goals. Most of my clients experience a gradual improvement in symptoms with sustained improvement if they are compliant.
