(she/her)
I specialize in treating survivors! So many of us have endured abuse, trauma or self induced addictions. Many of us are haunted by our past or stuck in our current situations. How do we balance our hectic lives emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually? How do we find peace, happiness and fulfillment, or at least the absence of anxiety and depression? If you are not happy with your life, sometimes a little help is all it takes. Let me assist you in doing more than just surviving, but in thriving and finding your best life!
When we meet, I encourage you to interview me as the position of your therapist! This is your therapy & it is most important to me for you to feel comfortable. Then, WE will explore together your goals in therapy & how best to get you there!
I utilize Person Centered and Positive Psychology, as well at Trauma Focused therapies. EMDR has been a life changer! It brings relief from anxiety, depression, stress & especially trauma! Here is the website: emdria.org I specialize in Addiction, Family Conflict, Trauma, PTSD and LGBTQiA2+ clients.
My experience includes: addiction counseling, intervention, veterans, first responders & trauma survivors with PTSD, same sex couples, families & teens aged 12 to 17. Some of my other specialties: Anger Management, Parenting, Domestic Violence, sexual trauma survivors, various mental health disorders and health issues.
