You have taken the first brave step towards meeting your needs, confronting issues, continuing personal growth, and doing the hard things in life. Life is already hard enough—you do NOT have to do life ALONE. Let me help you better understand how your past is impacting your present, develop compassion and respect for yourself, and discover more helpful ways to overcome pain and difficulty. I am honored partner with you and hold space for you to share your story. You can do so without fearing judgement or shame. Trusting others can be intimidating, but you can be assured that I respect you for choosing what is difficult and view you with unconditional positive regard. If you have never heard anyone say you are VALUED and WORTHY of respect, love, and relationship, you are. My hope is for you to be able to know and own this truth. There is growth on the other side of trauma, and healing is possible. My goal is to help you reach your goal. I see clients ages 10 years and older. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma, PTSD, complex-PTSD, and self-esteem issues. I also see clients who deal with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and grief. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), EMDR for Couples, EMDR for Children, Brainspotting Levels 1-3, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Couples Intensives, and Prepare/Enrich premarital counseling.
