I have experience working with Trauma survivors on all levels to include, Combat Traumas, Military Trauma, Sexual Trauma's, Childhood Trauma, domestic abuse. I also have worked with individuals struggling with Anxiety, Depression, grief & loss along with Couples & family stress.

My Background and Approach

I use a warm and postive holistic approach to therapy. I am able to work with individuals at wherever your story begins and support you in your healing process from there. I am certified in interventions such as EMDR and Hypnotherapy. I am also trained in the Gottman Method to guide couples into healthier relationships. Therapy is a place for you to feel comfort in sharing your vulnerability through your healing process. You are in charge, this is your process, your healing, your journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My Clients typically express feeling lighter after sessions. Clients who once felt uneasy socializing or being in public, now are re-connected. I believe our client therapist relationship is number one and will take time to build that trust together at your pace. Clients often tell me they feel at ease expressing, thoughts, feelings, emotions. I see emotional growth in clients who complete treatment with me and I am greatful to be apart of that healing journey with them.
