I'm glad you are here.

Change is Possible

You've read the books, maybe you've even tried hours of talk therapy, but you feel like you just aren't getting to the deeper issues that keep you stuck. EMDR can help. You don't have to stay in the stuck patterns that are hurting your relationship with yourself and others. I offer a safe space to be yourself. I hold a compassionate, non-judgmental space for clients to reprocess shame, hurt, and pain in order to move forward and find hope and healing.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I offer individual support for women coping with PTSD, anxiety, depression, relational issues, grief and loss. I believe change occurs in the context of a supportive, trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel seen, heard and attuned to their chosen counselor.

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE

I believe in the importance of fostering client safety by creating an environment where my clients can be themselves. I believe the relationship between client and therapist is the foundation on which therapy builds. Together with my clients, we develop trust, empathy, and alliance. I trust the wisdom that lies within each of my clients and I believe therapy is an art. I adapt the treatment to meet the needs of each individual.

My Approach

I am actively involved in the EMDR community and I am a member of the EMDR International Association. I was trained by Dr. Laurel Parnell in Attachment Focused EMDR, and I am a Certified EMDR Therapist. I use standard EMDR and Attachment Focused EMDR to help process trauma and anxiety. I also can offer CBT, coping skills, and Seeking Safety treatment.

I received my Masters in Mental Health Counseling in 2014 and have been working as a counselor ever since. My experience includes: supporting women looking for safety from abusive relationships as an Intern at SAFEHOME Domestic Violence Shelter, counseling individuals and families as a Licensed Masters Addiction Counselor in an Intensive Outpatient Addiction Treatment setting, and working in a private group practice with women and men recovering from negative life experiences and PTSD.

I am informed by Addiction Recovery principles, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy techniques. I am both trauma-informed and addiction-informed in my approach to treatment.
