Chances are, you are here because despite your best efforts lack of change is compelling you to courageously consider another approach something in your life is causing pain or hardship. Trauma or PTSD may haunt you with difficult memories, nightmares, anxiety, sleep problems, or are limiting how you live your life. You may be unsure what you experienced is considered traumatic yet it continues to interrupt your life. Since 2006, I’ve been honored to help many clients reconnect with their authentic selves after trauma so they can lead a fulfilling life. If you feel ready enough to begin healing, you are in the right place.

As an EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDR Consultant in Training my advanced specialization in treating trauma and PTSD with EMDR has supported clients' powerful healing. Should EMDR not be a good fit I'm trained and experienced to provide other trauma focused therapies such as Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure therapy, or Written Exposure Therapy. Integrating therapy with Brené Brown’s Daring Way™ work on wholehearted living and shame resiliency can further heal hearts.

Clients have shared that I am trustworthy, nonjudgmental, and they find my well-timed humor therapeutically helpful. Compassionate effective counseling can free you from painful past experiences. Contact me to see how together we can support your Brave Living.
