Clients who have wounds, especially interpersonal ones, find that they feel heard without judgement when working with me. I don't get embarrassed or surprised and I think clients find I am warm, genuine, open-minded and respectful. My experience is heavily focused on trauma, especially interpersonal; anxiety; and parenting challenges. Talking with people in counseling is a gift people share with me and I am honored when I can be a part of someone's "story." With 20 years of clinical experience, I have had many opportunities to help people navigate changes in their lives. I believe in the importance of connectedness.
My approach is solution-focused, client-centered, and strengths-based. I have extensive training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), CBT, & certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I have experience and training in grief and provide in-home sessions, office, walk & talk therapy, telehealth and intensives in EMDR.
I believe in the importance of connectedness. Connection in therapy is critical! Connection, to me, means sitting with you in joy or sorrow and listening to your story with my eyes, ears, and heart. I would love to hear from you and have a heart-to-heart connection. I have availability now! If you want to make a change or feel better, we can start this week.

I work with clients struggling with symptoms related to trauma or anxiety. We'll collaborate to determine the best plan to help alleviate your symptoms. Often, I use the Safe and Sound Protocol (specific music) to assist with a felt sense of safety. We'll focus on developing coping skills but then use modalities to process the core event. I use screening tools to assess symptoms before and after.

I often use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to work through negative core beliefs and associated memories associated with the feelings, sensations and symptoms experienced at that time. Now, I offer 3-4 hour intensives to dive deep and fast, which can be helpful for those with time constraints or those who want accelerated healing. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
