I am certified in Brainspotting, TF-CBT, Grief and trained in EMDR,DBT, CBT, EFT, CPT and Triple P (parenting program).
One Christmas season it had rained a lot. I attempted to circle my yard with my car to slide out of my drive way, and I got stuck. The more I tried to get out the more stuck I became. Finally, I had to do what I was dreading and call a tow truck to get me out of my own yard! Well, sometimes in life, we get stuck in our own mud, and we have to call help to get us out.

I use IFS, brainspotting, & EMDR to help you get unstuck and process what you feel you cannot get over
If you feel that talk therapy has not helped you, keep reading... There is a point in life when we get tired of not thriving. Trauma.. Overwhelming anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem are robbing you of the life that you see. You can see a better life for yourself in the distance, but you have no idea how to get there. Striving for perfectionism, people pleasing, feeling like you are always the problem, that you are not enough. Also, I was an educator for almost 20 years, so I know the stressors that teachers experience. No one knows what teachers go through better than a teacher. I offer a 100% judgment-free zone. Lets talk.

Using EMDR and TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), I guide individuals through the process of processing painful memories and emotions, helping to rewire the brain's response to trauma.
6/24: Accepting new clients!
Trauma can create barriers in relationships, emotional regulation, and even self-worth. I help clients identify and shift long-standing patterns shaped by past wounds. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding how trauma shapes not only individual experiences but also patterns across generations. I also work with clients who navigate neurodiversity, as trauma can often intersect with ADHD, autism, and other neurodivergent experiences. This unique combination requires a nuanced, understanding approach to healing that honors both trauma and the strengths of neurodivergent individuals.

I am also trained in EMDR to provide additional support for individuals interested in this service and in a good space to begin or continue their healing journey.
Beginning therapy can be the most vulnerable and brave step a person can take towards getting the help they deserve.

I believe that change is best facilitated by learning to validate, acknowledge, and attune to your emotions, increasing emotional vulnerability with yourself and others, and tracking patterns in current relationships to help you understand how to work towards healing past wounds and nurture the change you want to see in your life.

I work with adults to overcome the effects of past trauma using a combination of EMDR, CBT, DBT, and somatic therapies.
You’ve done your best to cope, but trauma keeps resurfacing in your relationships, your body, and your beliefs about yourself. No matter how hard you try, anxiety, self-doubt, and past wounds seem to haunt you. You may feel stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn mode, replaying old patterns of mistrust and fear. Thoughts like, “I’m not good enough,” “I can’t trust anyone,” or “I’ll never find love” hold you back from pursuing what you truly want. This constant internal struggle leaves you feeling disconnected, exhausted, and unsure of how to break free. If you’re tired of surviving and ready to heal, I’m here to help.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
