Great to meet you!

I am a counselor who provides a confidential, non-judgmental, and accepting environment to allow you to grow and heal from your trauma. I offer eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). I am all about helping you become better than their circumstance or happenstance. I specialize in treating clients with mood disorders, stress, trauma, anxiety, substance use, and relationship issues.

My approach to therapy

I provide a safe and accepting environment to heal from past traumas, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. If you've tried before but things just aren't coming together, you know how frustrating it is to not be able to be the real you. At first I'll work to help you identify where these difficulties come from, then we will practice ways to manage negative symptoms, and we will work together to resolve these issues at the root so you don't have to worry about them reoccurring.

What you can expect from me

We will work together to create a treatment plan that works for you to resolve these difficult areas. And because I value your time and all the work you've already put into your personal self growth, I'm all about what will work for you. If you are going through a difficult time, please feel free to reach out. I will try and get back to you the same day. I would be honored to work with you.
