My philosophy of therapy is best summarized through the acronym HEART: (H)ealing through (E)xposing, (A)ccepting, (R)ising and (T)hriving. Exposing: pain, trauma, and negative self-beliefs. Accepting: that these may be part of your story but they do not have to continue to define you. Rising: learning to stand back up and not letting these things hold you back from the life you want to live. Thriving: pursuing a life of fullness and creating the person you want to become.
As a Certified EMDR therapist, I am highly skilled at treating PTSD, anxiety, and other stress-induced symptoms. I cultivate a therapeutic relationship built on safety, compassion, and hope. I utilize a blend of EMDR, narrative processing, polyvagal exercises, and creative interventions to foster increased insight and improved quality of life.
I believe that taking these steps towards healing is one of the most courageous things a person can do. It is my commitment to you to meet you where you are and create a plan together to achieve the goals that you desire.
