I’m so glad you found me! I help adults work through the trauma of infidelity. The residue of betrayal is extremely difficult to remedy. The nervous system often remains in a state of fight or flight long after the discovery of the affair. Emotions like anxiety, fear and abandonment remain trapped within the body and the introduction of EMDR helps to finally process those feelings and organize them in a way that makes way for healing. I also thoroughly enjoy helping couples work through infidelity, along with other issues like communication difficulties and conflict management.

As a Christian, I'm honored to embrace faith within session upon request or when mentioned by client. I am available to see clients Monday - Thursday from 10am to 4pm.

Additionally, I love helping adults understand that symptoms like anxiety & depression are like smoke alarms that go off when we aren't willing to process undesirable emotions. As I operate with concepts derived from Bowen Family Systems theory and also by utilizing EMDR, we create a safe space where your emotions are examined and sorted in a manner that creates space for well-being.

“Where do you want to be, and what do you want your life to look like when we’ve concluded our relationship?” These are the types of questions that I tend to ask during our first session together. My desire is that my client(s) consistently maintain and work toward the visions that they’ve created.
