Beginning in 2008, my experience has included working with ages 5+ on issues such as abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, parenting, spirituality, trauma, and family challenges.
I am a trained EMDR therapist (www.emdria.org) and a certified Prepare-Enrich facilitator for marriage & premarital counseling (www.prepare-enrich.com).
I approach therapy with a warm curiosity. I love the statement, "Let's be curious about that."
The growth we gain from therapy is a process, and no one person fits into the same process box. Assisting clients with digging deeper into their own whys and hows in order to gain insight and healing is beneficial to the process of our work together. I have found EMDR to be a valuable tool for this approach.
During sessions my goal is to provide an environment in which my client feels seen, soothed, safe, and secure. When someone experiences acceptance and realizes they will not be judged or shamed, they can become free to do the hard work in achieving their goals in therapy.
