What would more joy and satisfaction in life be worth to you? Many people go through life unaware of their own intentions and motives, feeling as though life simply "happens to them." Through compassionate, nonjudgmental, and therapeutic exploration, I challenge and empower my clients to truly know themselves, deepen their faith, and gain a clearer understanding of their world and the people around them. Don't let life just happen to you—start living each day with purpose and intention.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, stress-related concerns, and emotional challenges that may feel overwhelming or difficult to manage alone. Many clients come to therapy seeking support during life transitions, after traumatic experiences, or while coping with mood and anxiety disorders. As a counselor trainee, I strive to provide a compassionate, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive environment where clients feel heard, safe, and supported as they build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and work toward long-term healing and personal growth.

I enjoy working with people during any phase of their journey. It's rewarding to connect with couples, adolescents, and adults going through stage of life changes and or trauma. I find joy in collaborating to cultivate peoples' motivations to change in a way that allows them to gain insight into their behaviors and achieve optimal health. I view people through a holistic lens thus seeing the whole person rather than their symptoms.

With 15 years of practicing therapy, I understand that therapy is a unique experience for everyone. Because of that, there is not a one size fits all approach. You and I will work together to take a comprehensive look at factors in your life that contribute to what has lead you to reach out. As a certified EMDR therapist, pulling largely from the cognitive and somatic dance, I meet clients where they are at in a person-centered approach. In your work with me, we will carefully look for the ways you can come Full Circle and close those loops that may be keeping you stuck.

My treatment philosophy is based on our capacity to heal. My primary means of treatment is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR reprocesses traumatic memories. Our brains use thought patterns to bring ideas, feelings and sensations to the forefront without discrimination. In instances of unresolved trauma, our ability to move forward in our lives is blocked, because thought patterns allow past trauma to continue to be replayed as if happening in the present. I collaborate with my clients via EMDR to reprocess trauma, allowing the brain to let natural healing occur.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists
How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?
Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like Cognitive behavioral therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behavior therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.
Are there specific medications for dissociation?
There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom—which may include antipsychotics like aripiprazole, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or anti-anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines.
How often and how long are therapy sessions?
Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
