About Me

I use EMDR therapy to help people recover from traumatic events, including abusive experiences or other distressing events, including relationship issues, mood disorders and PTSD. My work with first responders and veterans has been life changing--by observing the life altering effects of EMDR. I feel confident EMDR can be utilized to treat a variety of problems and disorders, and I look forward to helping clients heal and lead productive, pain free lives.
