Are you ready to come in to do the therapeutic work to take charge of your life? Are you ready to learn to trust yourself and others again? I continually strive to help clients feel empowered to reach their goals while feeling non-judgmentally supported by me. I am person-centered in that I consider the client as the expert on their lives while I am the expert on techniques that reconnect the client with themselves. I am also systems oriented in that I help examine the systems within the client, the client's relationships, and the client's community in order to create change on multiple levels in the client's life. I specialize in trauma, combining EMDR, IFS, & Gottman Method Therapy (Level 2 Training) to help clients break repeating relationship patterns that perpetuate a cycle of trauma and reconnect with their inner selves and others. Focused reading- Body Keeps the Score, Four Agreements, Caste, Untamed, The Big Leap, Atlas of the Heart, The Love Prescription. Building trust with a counselor is an incredibly important part of a successful counseling relationship. I understand that it can be difficult to be vulnerable with a stranger and I follow the pace of the client. I invite you to set up a session with me and decide for yourself if it is a good fit for you.
