(she/her)
I have completed level 1 training for Assessing and Treating Sexual Issues in Psychotherapy and Consensual Non- Monogamy level 1 trainings with the Institute for Relational Intimacy. I am a EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. Life can be hard. Getting along with family members can seem impossible. Relationships can explode and leave you questioning everything. People may question whether their experiences were traumatic, especially after right after a traumatizing event or within complicated family relationships. It's helpful in the moment to minimize experiences to get through them, however it can also cause long term stress and anxiety. I am here to assist with sorting it all out and I want to work with you on your path. I am proud to work with people of diverse backgrounds including all ethnicities, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
In our first session you can expect a conversation about what brings you here and what you would like to work on. Having the initial conversations allows us to get to know each other and to see if we are a good fit to work together on your goals. Sometimes counseling starts on one path and ends up on another. Trust is a vital component and essential to the therapeutic relationship.
My strengths are being able to pull from a range of treatment modalities. I understand pain, suffering and its impact. I believe that a little change and insight go along way into alleviating distress. I am flexible and openminded. I am down to earth and non judgmental.
My passion is providing quality therapy that creates a place of safety and healing by incorporating a non-judgmental stance along with being genuine and authentic. Life can introduce overwhelming circumstances that may lead to a negative shift in one's own belief system. These beliefs may begin in early childhood and expand into adulthood. They can keep us stuck and frustrated as we want to change and grow but don't know where to start. I meet the person where they are, and we work together to ensure the session acknowledges your individual needs. I believe that everyone has the innate ability to heal and I would be honored to assist with your journey.
