Have you experienced a traumatic event(s) such as a car accident, sexual assault, abusive relationship, or abuse or neglect in childhood that continues to impact you and causes difficulty or complications in your present day life and relationships?

Are you experiencing a life change or significant stressor and finding it difficult to cope and adjust?

Are you experiencing problems or dissatisfaction in your relationship, or notice that you continue to be in unhealthy or unsatisfying relationships and can’t seem to break free from this pattern?

Are you now, or have you previously, experienced a loss such as divorce, the death or suicide of a loved one, illness of a parent, or painful diagnosis of your child, that is causing suffering and disruption in your life?

Do you find that you are your own worst critic with a tendency to be harsh, judgmental, or unforgiving of yourself? Do you experience shame or self loathing that leads to a sense of low self esteem, lack of confidence, or depression?

I work with my clients to help them identify present day difficulties such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship dysfunction, or trauma symptoms and to develop insight as to why they may be experiencing these troubles so that they can better heal.

My therapeutic style with my clients is warm, gentle, empathic, and supportive. I empower my clients to set the pace and topic of each therapy session and work alongside them to help them determine their goals for a successful outcome to therapy and healing.

My approach is informed by EMDR, Trauma Theory, Ego-State Theory, Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I have advanced training and years of experience with treating trauma. I am trained in Level 1 and Level 2 of EMDR, Ego-State and Parts Work Therapy, and am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).

I specialize with adults in the following areas:

• Trauma Recovery

• Grief Work, including survivors of suicide and parents who have been affected by child loss

• Healthy Relationships

• Women's Issues

• Depression

• Anxiety
