If you have experienced relational, sexual, religious, or other trauma(s), there is opportunity for healing and freedom available to you. I work with individuals and couples struggling to overcome these difficulties, offering research-based interventions to assist in the healing process. Whether it is one session, or many, I enjoy partnering with clients throughout the therapy process. I always strive to create a safe and calming space for all, regardless of gender or sexual identity, lifestyle choices, issues discussed, etc.
I am both a licensed professional counselor and licensed marriage and family therapist, with additional training in both EMDR therapy and Gottman couples’ therapy. I utilize these approaches, along with contextual family therapy and solution focused therapy, as it fits with each unique client.
Whether you are struggling through processing past traumas, or simply looking for increased satisfaction in your day-to-day life and relationships, I hope you will leave sessions feeling seen, heard, and understood, as well as hopeful about the possibility of healing and growth.
