I’m a Trauma specialist committed to helping both men and women learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves and others. I am trained in EMDR. My work focuses on targeting traumatic memories, dysfunctional beliefs and negative cognitions. I believe in working collaboratively with clients to formulate their goals, and attain them. With over 19 yrs of experience, I can confidently say that your past doesn't have to define you. Neither does a label or diagnosis. I believe that a caring, empathetic, trusting and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship can empower clients to accept themselves and thrive. I would love to accompany you on your journey of personal growth.
