Mental health care is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I work with individuals who have diverse backgrounds and struggle with various traumatic events, grief, and mood related difficulties such as anxiety, depression, and more. During our initial session we will dive as deep as you would like and work together to discuss various resources, and create a plan to address your specific needs. During our work together, I'll hope to challenge you, empower you to challenge yourself, all while going at your pace.

This is too much. This is too overwhelming. How do I find my grounding? Motherhood comes with so many challenges. I help moms thrive without fear, anxiety and overwhelm. My clients struggle as you do. Despite being strong, capable and amazing, life is hard. Even harder really since becoming a mom. When you first come in, you’re struggling to know yourself, inundated with overwhelm, fear, worry and a heavy load. Everyone’s load may look different, but it’s heavy. With EMDR, moms can begin to feel less overwhelmed, less triggered, less anxious and there’s room for more joy!

I understand what it is like to feel as though your thoughts and behaviors are being solely ruled by your emotions. This is exhausting to live day after day. This way of living leads to being overwhelmed, dissatisfied, unhappy, stuck, or anxious. You want to gain more happiness and satisfaction within your life, but it feels daunting, you don't know where to begin or perhaps you feel resistance within yourself to even start. You need someone to listen and challenge you with more effective ways of utilizing your whole mind, body, and spirit.

I have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 20 years. I have had the opportunity to work within very unique and challenging clinical settings, including within a school, within a psychiatric center, within a residential campus and for the past decade within my current outpatient practice. The aforementioned settings have afforded a wealth of empirically based mental health insight and training, while also allowing efforts to gather invaluable clinical experiences working with adults and adolescents, dealing with mental health issues ranging from anxiety, depression, Bipolar Disorder and various other personality disorders.

I have been fortunate to have a previous career in exercise physiology and sought my masters in Social Work when I realized my passion centered on helping people make the changes they desire. I enjoy working with adults, age 18 and older, focusing on anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, grief/loss, parenting issues and personality disorders. I would enjoy walking this walk with you.
