I want to help people feel better. You don't have to have extreme TRAUMA to need trauma work. You don't have to be suicidal to know that depression is a part of your life. You don't have to experience a panic attack to be having problems with anxiety. We all experience different levels of these problems in our lives and my goal is to work through these concerns and make a stronger person through a therapeutic relationship.
I have experience with many different populations, sexual orientations, cultures, and varying degrees of mental health needs. I use multiple modalities of therapy that best fit you including EMDR, Brainspotting, Sand Tray, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Brief, Solution Focused Therapy. I have certifications in anxiety and telehealth.
Honest communication between client and therapist is the most important part of therapy and I can handle the fears and scary parts of your life or feelings. I will work with you to decide the right intervention, the goals and time frames for making therapy a helpful, good experience and not another thing to worry about.

Every brain is different. Some interventions will work better for you and I always want to hear what works for you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are present in almost every session. Brainspotting and EMDR will be used with all my clients because I think the results are the best of any intervention. If you opt for in person sessions, we will build a sandtray as well.
