I am a licensed, board-certified professional counselor with specialty training in EMDR trauma therapy and am Telehealth Certified.
Welcome! No two clients are alike, so neither is my approach to your care! Feelings of anxiety, worry, sadness or anger? Are you having difficulty setting and attaining goals? Finding and keeping meaningful relationships? Trying to cope and regain balance after a painful loss or trauma? If you can say yes to any of these, you may also be feeling alone with your challenges. Understand, you are not, many share these feelings and what these challenges all have in common; they are isolating and negatively life altering. For those who have struggled, a therapist can be an essential guide towards a happier, healthier life journey.

As a peacebuilder, I integrate person-centered modalities such as ACT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and conflict transformation strategies.
In trying times, feeling overwhelmed is a normal human response. Many people, and those who care about them, can feel pulled in multiple directions while trying to stay grounded and connected to themselves, their values, their responsibilities, and their relationships. When ecosystems of care are stretched, fatigued, or limited, pressure can build and begin to impact well-being and a sense of direction about what comes next. As a therapist, I offer a steady, compassionate space to pause with curiosity, make sense of what’s unfolding, and move beyond survival mode toward renewed understanding, reconnection, growth, and purpose.

Seeking therapy is a courageous first step towards better understanding how past and current experiences impact individual wellbeing. I believe the most important part of treatment is establishing a trusting client-therapist relationship. I work to build a warm, open environment so you feel safe when sharing difficult thoughts and feelings. There are times in life when our usual coping strategies are not enough and feelings of helplessness and inadequacy can take over. Therapy can help to successfully navigate life's challenges and make positive changes that will contribute to improved feelings of competence in managing relationships, transitions, and other stressors more productively.

I am trained in EMDR, and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist (CCTP II).
Coming to therapy doesn't mean something is wrong with you, or you failed because you couldn't "fix it" yourself. Like many people I see, you might consider yourself aggressively capable. As a result, you may find it hard to trust and rely on others. When you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders and are reluctant to ask for help, it is likely to lead to overwhelm. Here's what's true: your well-being MATTERS and affects the quality of your life and relationships. We'll work to identify what's in the way of living a more satisfying and fulfilling life.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected from yourself, therapy can be the turning point. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back, build tools for emotional resilience, and help you reconnect with your strength, confidence, and peace of mind.

Are you a Veteran seeking a Nexus letter/Independent Medical Opinion? My primary focus is on providing Mental Health Evaluations and Nexus letters for Veterans seeking mental health benefits from the VA.

The process typically takes 7-10 days, and I work at your pace, as most Veterans have not asked for help.

I use a combination of talk therapies and EMDR to shift from negative thoughts and responses to more positive adaptive beliefs and behaviors.
Life altering experiences can cause us to feel physically and emotionally unsafe leading us to ruminate on the past, overthink and worry about the future, and expect something bad to happen. Daily tasks can become difficult, and sometimes talking feels like it makes things worse. Imagine feeling secure, safe, and enjoying every day things without worrying about what’s next. It is possible to find a way to accept things as they are, reconnect with the people you care about, and enjoy the things that mean the most to you. Please note I currently only have evening availability.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
