There are times when it feels like our past won’t allow us to move forward. The inner critic, that negative voice, we hear on the inside, won’t seem to allow us to escape the guilt, shame, or trauma from our past. Making it impossible to make peace with the past we desperately desire to be freed from. These feelings create thoughts that we are not good enough & rob us of having joy, confidence, happiness, and healthy relationships. This is where I step in, I work with clients I am a Licensed Professional Counselor & EMDR Trained Therapist, with a true passion for helping clients find freedom from the painful grips of being stuck in life due to depression, anxiety & trauma. I am here to support you in learning how you can become a self-healer and empower you to live with more peace, calm & confidence in everyday life. I am now offering EMDR intensives for clients we desire to accelerate their healing and growth journey! "Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion." -Buddha.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

As an EMDR Trained therapist, I would welcome you to the first session with warmth and understanding. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. During the first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and establishing a foundation for our therapeutic relationship. This will involve discussing your reasons for seeking EMDR therapy, your history and current symptoms, and your expectations for treatment. I will also provide you with an overview of EMDR therapy, including its theoretical underpinnings and the standard eight-phase protocol. We will discuss the different types of bilateral stimulation techniques that can be used in EMDR, such as eye movements, hand tapping, and auditory tones.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My biggest strengths are that I genuinely care about the amazing people I serve. I am also strong in listen to to the amazing people I get to work with, I can “between the lines,” so to speak and I have the gift of helping my clients have a felt sense of being heard, seen and feeling understood.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I help women find healing and empowerment through EMDR therapy, guiding them on a journey to nurture their mental and emotional well-being. By utilizing EMDR, I aim to assist women in overcoming the impact of past traumas, reducing anxiety and stress, and cultivating a newfound sense of clarity, calm, and confidence in their lives.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

"I have experience using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help individuals with PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. In my practice, I guide clients through structured sessions to help them challenge and change unhelpful beliefs connected to their traumatic experiences. This process allows clients to develop healthier perspectives, reduce distressing emotions, and move forward with greater control in their lives."
