About My Clients

Do you feel stuck or have trouble moving on from traumatic events that have happened to you? Do you feel like you’re trying to escape from negative thoughts and feelings? Is this impacting important relationships in your life? Many trauma survivors feel stuck in the past and that they cannot escape from negative thoughts and overwhelming feelings. My ideal client is ready and willing to regain control and begin to heal. Through holistic practices and EMDR, I can help you to start healing.

My Background and Approach

Do you feel stuck or have trouble moving on from traumatic events that have happened to you? Do you feel like you’re trying to escape from negative thoughts and feelings? Is this impacting important relationships in your life? Many trauma survivors often feel stuck in the past and that they cannot escape from negative thoughts and overwhelming feelings. Often, these individuals turn to drugs, alcohol, and other coping mechanisms that may be ineffective. Imagine if you could use your brain’s natural healing process to regain control of your life and develop healthier ways of coping with distressing thoughts and feelings. I’ve worked with adolescents and adults for the last couple of years. I offer therapy that promotes regaining control by gently processing through traumatic events and gaining a new perspective on what has happened to you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe everyone has a natural capacity to heal, and with the right healing environment, they can do just that. I strive to provide that healing space. I strive to have a place where all clients feel comfortable in their healing. I make it a point to advocate for the needs and rights of my clients in their personal lives and in the world. I work to stay on top of new research and tools to help you heal. I work to create a culturally open and affirming environment for all of my clients regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and so on. I provided compassionate and non-judgmental care to all of my clients. Please reach out to learn more about how I can help you start to heal.
