As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I aim to listen and gently help guide individuals through any turbulent situations that they are experiencing. I have a Master's Degree in School Counseling. My background includes working in education, in criminal justice, in residential treatment facilities, in non-profits, and in private practice. I have experience working with clients from ages 3-70 of diverse backgrounds. I feel that every individual's story is important.
I am a certified EMDR Therapist and an EMDR Consultant-In-Training. I focus on clients interested in overcoming past or present trauma through the EMDR process. I believe in treating individuals holistically with the use of EMDR, Strength-Based, Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed, Somatic and Mindful approaches. My methods include Qigong and Yoga. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, trauma, domestic violence, sexual identity issues, and gender identity issues.
It is important to me that clients leave session feeling that they have gained education, insight, and practical skills. Clients will not only be provided with a safe space to talk, but they will also leave with practical skills they can use at home to begin to find inner peace.
