Whether you are dealing with life stressors, relationship problems, trauma, or new challenges, you don't have to do it alone. Sometimes it's one big thing that changed everything. More often, it's all the things that have been adding up. Even seemingly good things, like moving or getting a promotion, can be massively stressful and destabilizing. Therapy is a place where you can safely explore your thoughts and feelings, discover new skills, process your experiences, and move forward with the help of a trained and confidential clinical professional.
I specialize in helping adults (age 18+) recover from trauma. I offer EMDR, and practice from a person-centered, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused perspective. All sessions are held online from the comfort and privacy of your chosen location. I offer reduced rates and Superbills if you'd like to seek insurance reimbursement.
I’m happy to answer any questions you might have (e-mail is best, and we can schedule a phone call, if needed). If you’re ready to start now, simply go to awakenmentalwellness.clientsecure.me/request/service and select First Appointment and a time. All forms can be completed electronically.

I have been using EMDR to treat trauma and other issues since March 2019. I've offered virtual EMDR since March 2020. EMDR is great for helping you overcome emotional distress from past experiences and fears about the future.
