About My Clients

You have been through so much and come so far! What keeps holding you back from experiencing all of the joy and calm you are seeking? There are protective parts of self that surface to move us through times of trauma and loss, social discord and injustice, economic and environmental crisis, and separation and isolation in our relationships...and these extremely valid coping responses might be contributing to more pain and keeping you from a full, authentic connection to all of your world.

My Background and Approach

As a helper, I am humbled and grateful to have been on this healing journey with others since 2009 and would love to share with you ideas for increasing happiness and creativity, as well re-discovering direction and peace. I am certified and highly experienced with utilizing many research-supported interventions that truly can aid you in your next steps… While I can support those experiencing many clinical needs given my extensive training and background with teens and families, my areas of specialty include: Child and adult trauma, Loss and transition, Phobias and fear, Addiction treatment, Living with chronic illness and pain, Anxiety experiences. I primarily offer EMDR and mindfulness support.
