I enjoy working with children and adults and have a passion for trauma treatment. I have extensive experience working with relationship concerns, neurodivergence, active duty/veterans and their families, borderline personality disorder and emotion regulation. Big emotions and life changes are incredibly hard, so I welcome all your emotions and experiences, uncensored. My goal is for you to be your authentic self, comfortable being vulnerable, and fulfilled. We will collaboratively create treatment goals that are meaningful to you. As long as you are committed to change, you'll be able to recognize your progress.
I specialize in trauma treatment, C-PTSD and am certified in EMDR and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I also regularly work with depression, anxiety and infertility/pregnancy loss. I offer a direct, yet comfortable approach, and strive to make you feel safe enough to share your most difficult experiences. A little humor also goes a long way!
My number one priority is to validate your experiences. I'm not here to tell you that your feelings or views are wrong. Rather, I'm here to identify any areas that may be negatively impacting you, and to help you see things from a different perspective. I know it's hard to face discomfort, so I encourage you to reach out so I can face it with you.
