About My Clients

Are you hoping to improve communication, understanding, and boundaries in your relationships so that you can move towards the life and connections you long for? I love coming alongside individuals, couples and families to collaboratively address challenges and move you towards your goals. Relationships can be strained or become challenging for so many reasons. Sometimes we need support to find the best way forward in our relationship to ourself, our peers, our colleagues, or our loved ones.

My Background and Approach

I have 12 years of specialized experience working with adolescents and their families to address problematic sexual behaviors. In my current practice I focus on adolescents, adults & couples. I am EMDR Trained, having completed an EMDRIA approved EMDR Basic Training. EMDR is a valuable tool for addressing challenges related to trauma and adverse experiences. Together we will understand you, your goals, values, strengths and challenges. We'll identify what steps will support the healing, change or growth you hope for. In addition to EMDR, I use a variety of approaches including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused techniques to best support your therapy journey.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that being known, accepted and understood in the context of relationship is healing. I believe that people can change. I like to mildly geek out on personality typing systems like Myers Briggs and Enneagram; they help me understand myself and others. I was very involved in Christian church for years and needed to step away. I'm finding challenge, freedom and growth in a new chapter of my spiritual journey. I love playing the piano, being in nature, traveling, and laying in my hammock.
