Tired of feeling anxious, overwhelmed? Like you don't know where else to turn? We all have a story to tell, but not everyone feels empowered to share theirs. There are ALWAYS reasons why you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, chronically stressed, angry, or depressed. We will uncover each and every one of your symptoms and put the pieces of the puzzle together so that you can feel content and secure - inside and out.

When you don't believe you have a safe person to talk to, you can "hold" things in for a LONG time. You may talk to people, but not feel heard. This leads to personal "secrets," which leads to shame, which leads to anxiety and depression. I have over 20 years experience using evidence based practices such as CBT and EMDR to heal.

I encourage you to reach out on behalf of yourself! With a keen ability to understand and connect with people combined with the well rounded knowledge and experience of helping individuals heal and change painful emotional patterns, I'm able to offer you unique and well-informed integrative therapy to help you heal your mind, body, and spirit.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, OCD, trauma and relationship issues with an additional special focus on reproductive and perinatal challenges. Your first session will be a thorough intake assessment so that we can discover exactly what you need help with and make a plan with goals. Most clients start out weekly so that they can see positive changes in a timely manner.

I use integrative, evidence-based practices based on the issues you need to address. In the first few sessions, we will determine what symptoms to prioritize. Oftentimes it's most helpful to use a combination of therapy types. I use CBT often - looking at your thoughts/beliefs and how they affect your feelings/behavior. I also use EMDR frequently to address past traumas or adverse events.
