About My Clients

Do you ever feel anxious, on edge, or snappy? Do you feel like your mind won’t stop racing and it all feels overwhelming? Do you have difficulty managing your thoughts, challenges sleeping, and coping with life stressors? Are you bothered by your past, and unsure how to keep your mind in the present? I know how challenging this can be and I help people like you.

My Background and Approach

My approach is to work collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals. I have training in traditional talk therapy and specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting. EMDR and Brainspotting work beyond traditional talk therapy to target the memories and negative core beliefs that are holding you back. Both of these therapies tap into the brains natural capacity for healing. I will also work with you to develop coping skills to tolerate life stressors.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I work with people from diverse backgrounds and personal beliefs. I believe that each person has the potential for change and self growth. Our previous life experiences shape the way we view the world and ourselves. I believe that we can move past our early life experiences to live the life we desire. If you want to learn more about how I can help, shoot me a message or schedule a free 15 minute consultation.
