You are invited to join me in a relaxed environment as I guide you through the stressors that are present in your life. My main modality is EMDR Therapy.

I've been practicing since 2010 in a variety of settings, including outpatient, IOP, PHP and residential settings. I believe the people I work with are the experts of themselves. My role is to assist and guide them to experience life in a way that they no longer feel stuck due to past or current stressors, events and traumas. I bring a strength-based, client-centered approach to EMDR Therapy. EMDR is an evidence-based, structured therapy that can help heal the brain using it's own natural healing process. I look forward to meeting you in my relaxed and judgment-free office, where I can learn more about you and we can work together to accomplish your goals.
