Underneath the disappointments and pain, you have more strength and wholeness than you may realize. It takes real courage to break out of our old ways of doing things into new thinking and behaving. I admire and respect anyone who has the willingness to start on this journey and am there to support you through that process, even if you don't know what needs to change. Together we will navigate these uncharted waters, bringing you closer to the fullest and most satisfying life possible for you. NOTE: Remote therapy ONLY (including EMDR) in Idaho, North Carolina & Kansas. Remote & in-person therapy available in Washington State.
I can help you work through old patterns and traumas using tools you may not have tried before. Towards this end, I use behavioral activation, cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization & reprogramming (certified in EMDR), and music/art therapy. Together we can differentiate medical from emotional challenges and generate treatment options.
With over 30 years of clinical experience, I work with clients from many different ethnic backgrounds, nationalities, religions and communities. Each client is unique so treatment is customized to meet each client's specific needs and to build on their strengths.
