Great to meet you!

Hi! I'm Elma. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with many years of experience providing a safe space for clients dealing with grief, PTSD, anxiety, depression, etc to help you learn coping skills to thrive in life! My goal is to support your growth through empathy, warmth, and collaborative style. When requested, I also provide Christian and career counseling.

Hola! Soy una Terapeuta Profesional Licenciada. Tengo varios años de experiencia y en mi clínica virtual me gusta ayudar a las personas para navegar los síntomas de ansiedad, depresión, traumas, y más . Proveo también técnica EMDR, consejería cristiana y de carreras.

My approach to therapy

I am EMDR trained, a highly effective, evidence based psychotherapy for PTSD helping reprocess traumatic memories reducing their emotional, physical, and mental intensity.

Si sufre de trauma, ansiedad, depresión, etc yo proveo terapia EMDR basada en evidencia para reprocesar memorias traumáticas y reducir sus efectos en la mente, cuerpo y emociones.

What you can expect from me

I would love to visit with you so we can assess and identify needs and develop a plan to work together on your journey toward healing.

Taking the first step toward support can feel challenging. I honor your courage. I invite you to reach out and together we can work toward your goals in a safe place where you can share your life stories and feel loved, supported, and cared for without feeling judged.
