About Me

I am now Licensed in EMDR therapy in sessions. Supporting couples, individuals and families in times of struggles is my passion. I am experienced in working with individuals of all ages who have experienced childhood traumas (sexual/physical/emotional abuse), and who struggle with a variety of mental health issues such as ADHD, sexual struggles, Depression, Anxiety Disorder, OCD and Distorted Eating. I have over a decade of experience working with families in crisis, parent/teen conflict, relationship/marriage difficulties, custody/access conflict, survivors of sexual/physical abuse, depression, and anger management issues. I adopt a holistic approach to therapy believing that all elements of an individual's life (biological, psychological, spiritual, environmental, and social) come together and play a role in human functioning. I practices a client-centered framework of therapy through a solution focused mindset. I am now Licensed in EMDR therapy in sessions.
