I can provide effective individual counseling using EMDR, CBT, SOMB, and Motivational Interviewing to help you clear away trauma memories and help you reach your goals.
Are you struggling with your relationships, depression, anxiety, and past trauma? Perhaps you have experienced sexual abuse in your past and you are having trouble with current relationships. Are you a juvenile who has committed a sexual offense? Counseling can help. I use EMDR, it is a type of therapy that can be done to address those memories and clear a path to a happier, healthier you. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and is a therapy that can help people heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences. Here is a link to a video to introduce you to EMDR: https://youtu.be/Pkfln-ZtWeY

I also incorporate motivational interviewing and mindfulness techniques regularly into session.
Trauma, chronic illness(es), and eating disorders are intense, unique experiences that can change the way we think, respond, and prepare for day-to-day activities. It can also change the way our body functions on a basic level. My goal is to provide a comfortable environment where everyone can explore traumas, create coping skills, and gain self-confidence. It is within a safe, comforting environment that people have the potential to create meaningful change in their lives.

I offer individual therapy to adults using primarily EMDR but also use skills from therapies such as CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution focused therapy.
Many people who have been through trauma find that it can affect various parts of their lives, whether through experiencing intense and overwhelming emotions, difficulties with relationships or generally feeling stuck. As a therapist who specializes in trauma, I like to help clients understand their symptoms, identify coping strategies and heal from trauma so that the present no longer feels overtaken by the past.

My toolbox contains a plethora of experiential mindfulness skills, neuroplasticity, Gestalt Therapy, Sensorimotor Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Authentic Relating, and Relational Leadership.
Ever feel like there is more to this life than the one you've been living? As someone who has felt the gravity and darkness of untapped potential I know what's it's like to be living a life we don't love. The clues are within the depression and/or anxiety - these are our body's brilliantly sane ways of saying "pay attention!" Anyone can have a life that is full of passion, richness, purpose, and they feel joyfully proud to be living. It will take vulnerability, bravery, sacrifices, and perhaps some help to get this life that you love. I'd be deeply honored to be the gentle and firm guide you need to help you create this life.

I use motivational interviewing to get clear on your goals and weave in psychodynamic, attachment-based, and Gestalt ("parts work") interventions to not just support you but to give you the knowledge and tools to know yourself inside and out.
Pregnancy and postpartum life can feel daunting, lonely, and overwhelming. The expectations put onto mothers to feel "overjoyed" and have it all together often leaves new or expectant moms feeling shamed into silence that "something must be wrong with me" for feeling afraid, lost, depressed, or missing their old self/life/relationship with their partner. This is the most vulnerable time in a person's life. You are not crazy. It is hard. You get to make your well being a priority. The core of my work lies in supporting women in all stages of life.

Motivational Interviewing Therapists

How does motivational interviewing work?

Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathizes, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.

Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?

Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviors in children.

How long does motivational interviewing last?

Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.

What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?

In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behavior.
