About Me
Reaching out for help shows personal strength and the courage to change. A therapist who understands you can help guide you toward a feeling of inner resilience. I specialize in treating trauma, emotional suffering, and psychological stress. I provide care that meets your individual needs to empower you as you explore, process change, and learn to be present with what is.
Education & Experience
I am a practiced EMDR therapist and use this treatment to successfully treat single-incident trauma, complex trauma, phobias, and anxiety producing/distressing future events. I help you address somatic issues, attachment injuries, past pain experienced in relationships and addiction. I incorporate techniques found in behavioral and mindfulness, CBT, MBCT, IFC, recovery-oriented, and harm reduction therapies to support your healing. I offer in-home, EMDR intensives (4+hours) & telehealth services. I look forward to helping you start your journey.
