If you're looking for someone to talk to, let's talk. Life stressors, relationships, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, or new challenges can be overwhelming. You don't have to do it alone. I offer a warm, accepting, and judgment-free environment where you can explore, grow, and find resolution. Therapy tends to be Choose Your Own Adventure rather than One Size Fits All. Our first few sessions will be all about getting to know you and your needs. We will work together to build a treatment plan and identify strategies that fit you.
I am very comfortable working different populations and lifestyles. I have expertise in addiction, mood disorders, anxiety, and adjustment disorders. I specialize in trauma, including PTSD and complex trauma.
Starting therapy doesn't have to be complicated or intimidating. I'll be happy to explore whether we're a good fit or help you find someone who is.

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.

Each therapy experience is individualized to the client and their specific needs. Therapy may include EMDR, CBT, MI, breathwork, relaxation techniques, art, journaling, and other exercises. Most clients notice a gradual lifting of symptoms as they integrate concepts into their everyday lives.
