As a licensed professional counselor, I have a background working with individuals and families struggling with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, interpersonal and familial relationship issues, trauma, anger, co-dependency, and addiction. Working from person-centered and solution-focused approaches, I believe in self-efficacy and the importance of finding healing and empowerment though self-discovery and self-love.
“Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most meaningful parts of ourselves.” – David Riche
I want to create a therapeutic environment that is supportive, nurturing, and safe – all the while incorporating individualized needs and self-expression, cultivating inner strengths, and working towards personalized goals. I want to help guide clients on a compassionate therapeutic journey that will help promote lasting and powerful life-long positive healing and change.
About EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a structured therapy that encourages the patient to briefly focus on the trauma memory while simultaneously experiencing bilateral stimulation (typically eye movements), which is associated with a reduction in the vividness and emotion associated with the trauma memories. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. Ongoing research supports positive clinical outcomes showing EMDR therapy as a helpful treatment for disorders such as anxiety, depression, OCD, chronic pain, addictions, and other distressing life experiences.
