Counseling is deeply personal and relational in nature. I strive to create a place of safety and hope for all those who would seek counseling with me. I work to maintain a trauma informed and multicultural practice; meaning that I understand and am sensitive to the effects of trauma as well as the impact that culture has on the lives of my clients. As such I endeavor to practice in a way that welcomes and embraces individuals from all different backgrounds. I counsel using a variety of counseling theories and will always try to meet my clients with an approach that meets their needs. As a counselor it is my job to walk alongside my clients as they journey towards their goals and to offer support, education, encouragement, and safety as they go. Christ met all those He ministered to where they were and walked with them with grace and compassion through their struggles and triumphs. I work to model my practice after His, and seek to meet all of my clients with warmth, honesty, hope, and acceptance as we walk together to meet their goals.

As a clinician, it is my privilege and responsibility to help you learn how to navigate these situations. Most individuals are much stronger and more resilient than they give themselves credit for. We can work together using your own strengths to identify hopes and goals for treatment, and find realistic approaches to working toward these goals. You have the tools within yourself to achieve your goals; I will help guide and strengthen these tools.

My personal theoretical foundation is not limited to one approach. I believe it is necessary for counselors to be adaptive. Every client is different and our responses and approaches should be equally diverse. One person may need a cognitive behavioral approach whereas another would be more responsive to brief counseling. This eclectic approach will be applied to all clients. Techniques will vary between clients to best meet the individual client's needs. I specialize in trauma and PTSD. I offer EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy to address client's needs in a personalized and productive manner. I am here to help in a way that is productive and healing to you! You've already taken one of the hardest steps - looking for a counselor. Your mental health is important! Acknowledging this and working towards growth and healing is good, hard work. I look forward to working alongside you on this journey as you learn, grow, heal, and work towards a better tomorrow.

You are ready to find a better way to end your emotional and physical pain. Successful clients of EMDR learn to change old habits of thoughts and behaviors so you can have a life with less suffering and more joy. Let me help you heal and grow with love, compassion and humor! Studies in EMDR psychotherapy shows that the mind can in fact heal from psychological trauma much as the body recovers from physical trauma. EMDR therapy has been recognized as an effective form of treatment by the World Health Organization and the Veterans Administration. Email me today. I will try to return your emails within 48 business hours. My specialty areas include using EMDR and other evidence-based treatments to work with clients to recover from trauma, grief, and chronic pain/illnesses. This includes clients that have experienced medical and dental trauma as well as the long term effects of COVID. I schedule appointments Monday -Thursday 9AM- 5PM.
