I specialize in using evidence based practices (cognitive/behavioral), EMDR therapy, and Neurofeedback to treat depression, anxiety disorders (including PTSD), insomnia, stress, headaches/migraines, and ADHD.
Medication not working? Feeling stressed, afraid, and out of balance can rob you of your vitality and can prevent you from reaching your full potential in life. Many situations in our lives can lead us to feel this way whether it be the result of a traumatic event, a significant loss in life, and/or our habits, behaviors, attitudes, and emotions. Experiencing these stressors can be overwhelming at times, especially if trying to manage them alone. If you find yourself at this particular place in your life, I would welcome the opportunity to walk alongside you while we work together to find healing.

I use an eclectic approach from evidence-based techniques to support you compassionately and authentically. I support individuals to engage with life from a more centered, integrated, and fulfilled place. It can be uncomfortable, confusing, and overwhelming to look at many complex parts of ourselves alone. Unexamined, these parts can show up in our lives in different forms such as addictions, anxiety, depression, lack of self-esteem, codependency, stress, and dissatisfaction.

I work with clients who value making an investment in themselves and their personal/professional development. If you're an entrepreneur, executive, manager, athlete, or past athlete--maybe a combination of two or three!--there is a lot I can show you! Better concentration, greater confidence, ability to focus on the task, stress/anxiety/attentional control strategies, more positive thoughts and imagery, more determination. We will also work on effective goal-setting strategies (beyond SMART goals), managing distractions, managing triggers, and true leadership development. There isn't enough room to type all of the work we can do!
