Great to meet you!

I started my education in counseling after my children were in school and I bring all of my life experiences with me. My first work was with trauma survivors and this is still something I like to help with. I am EMDR trained, which can help with trauma in a short amount of time.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Solution Focused therapy is my main style of working, with a family of origin emphasis. I also am trained in DBT, EMDR, and Gottman and will bring those techniques in as needed.

What you can expect from our first session

The take away I work towards is one of understanding and hope that things can get better. Using solution focused therapy, I'm always looking for times when the problem wasn't so bad so we can figure out how to make it a non-problem again.
