About My Clients

My goal is to help women feel like themselves again after trauma. My specialties include childhood trauma, sexual assault, domestic violence, complex trauma, and other distressing experiences. I take a kind and gentle approach that integrates relational therapy, EMDR, and inner child work. I'm currently licensed in Florida, Texas, Colorado, South Carolina, Vermont, and Idaho.

My Background and Approach

I offer a trauma-informed approach to avoid retraumatization. Often anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and other symptoms occur as a result of trauma. It is my belief that we should resolve the cause of your symptoms in therapy (which is often trauma) rather than simply using coping skills to reduce the symptoms.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Effective therapy is deeply personal and I have found that utilizing a relational approach is the best way to connect with my clients. Trauma therapy, including EMDR, can be extremely difficult so safety and trust are a vital part of the therapeutic process.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
