Life doesn’t look the way you expected it to.

Old traumas, new challenges or life transitions are affecting your mood, your relationships or you are not getting what you want from your life.

Sound familiar?

Sometimes thoughts, memories and feelings about past or recent events or challenges can cause current struggles

I use EMDR along with other trauma informed techniques and interventions to help support you in reducing the impact of life challenges on your current life.

Using a combination of reprocessing old memories with teaching and practicing new skills to help you build a better, easier life.

  • Reduce anxiety, worry, and self doubt

  • Increase motivation, resilience and hope

  • Improve sleep, relationships and self confidence

  • Learn to be your best self

I’m so glad you’re here.

Starting therapy is sometimes scary, I work to make the experience as easy as possible for you.

I love working people of all genders, ethnicities and backgrounds and strive to provide a nurturing, safe, non-judgmental environment for you to work through the issues and problems that are effecting your life and well-being.

Anxiety

Persistent worries, ruminating thoughts, nervousness. Self-esteem challenges. These can all be reduced or eliminated.

Trauma

Trauma can be big life altering events or small nagging events. It can be what happens to you or what didn’t happen to you, such as lack of nurturing or support. These small “t” and big “T” traumas all can impact your life and cause anxiety, depression, nightmares, intrusive thoughts, etc. But therapy can greatly improve these challenges.

Life Transitions

Moving, relationship changes, identity challenges, health issues, grief. All of these effect your life and well-being. Support and working through new ways to see yourself and new ways to thrive can be found in therapy.

HOW I WORK

I believe therapy should be simple.

Schedule a free, no-obligation consultation to decide if I’m a good fit for you. If we are, great! We’ll schedule your first appointment and begin mapping out a path to your goals.

If not, no problem. I’ll refer to you to another talented therapist in my network who can help.

You Can’t change what has happened…

but you can learn to let go of the impact.
