Currently offering via Telehealth: +Individual counseling (all ages) +Couples and family counseling +DBT skills sessions +EMDR +Children's 12 week social and emotional development/skills program Our emotions are an "internal navigation system". We need our emotions to help us to learn what is important to us and what no longer serves us. Emotions provide purpose and meaning to our lives. Sometimes this navigation system may malfunction after trauma and needs to be recalibrated. Let me walk with you on your journey. Together we will establish goals to meet and obstacles to overcome at a pace that makes sense to both of us. The pathway to healing is only a phone call away! https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/786940
