Therapy for overthinkers, worriers, and trauma survivors.
I have spent most of my career working with those affected by trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. I use trauma-focused therapies like EMDR to decrease trauma symptoms like panic attacks, dissociation, flashbacks, nightmares, and negative beliefs. I am also certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression, which helps to improve your mood and learning new skills. I enjoy working with adults of all ages from various backgrounds. If you feel I may be a good fit, I’d love to connect!
