About Me
With a compassionate and trauma-informed approach, I integrate various theories including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). When traditional words are not enough to express your journey, EMDR can assist in processing past experiences, and reduce distress for lasting healing. Together, we can enhance emotional resilience, learn new skills, and navigate life more effectively. Whether you’re experiencing occupational stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, or a desire for deeper self-understanding, I am here to walk alongside you. With expertise in aiding clients with experiences of interpersonal violence, family of origin challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, traumatic experiences, and occupational stress, our work will equip you with practical tools and strategies to help you move forward with confidence. I am passionate about working with first responders, other trauma exposed professionals, survivors of domestic and interpersonal violence, among many other demographics.
