Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed? Are you struggling to manage your emotions? Maybe you’ve been living with emotional pain or experiencing intrusive thoughts and memories that are affecting your ability to live life fully? These feelings can make life even more challenging! I'll work with you to find what will best meet your needs. I use talk therapy, interwoven with mindfulness, expressive arts, and an awareness of the body and mind connection. My approach is warm and accepting and I strive to assist clients in increasing self-understanding, self-acceptance, and self-compassion.
I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidenced-based treatment designed to help alleviate the symptoms caused by traumatic life events, using the body’s natural ability to heal. It has been shown to help reduce anxiety, depression, negative thought patterns, addictive behavior, and somatic complaints.
I am a Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga Facilitator and a SoulCollage Facilitator. I hold a master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a post-masters certificate in addiction counseling from Antioch University New England. I'm passionate about supporting and empowering those I work with in developing the skills to improve their lives.
