Meet The Team
Are you a teenage or adult woman struggling with anxiety, panic, the impact of trauma or chronic stress and feel like traditional talk therapy hasn't worked for you? Do you need practical tools to help you manage overwhelming emotions and take back control of your life? I get it, I've been there too. Some of the symptoms my clients (and myself) have experienced are excessive worry, difficulty calming down or finding safety in their body, difficulty regulating their emotions, difficulty identifying and expressing needs / boundaries and burnout from people pleasing / care-taking.
I am an EMDR and trauma-informed therapist that takes a personalized approach to treating symptoms at the root. EMDR helps us eradicate symptoms by working with our brain's natural ability to process and return to our innate sense of safety, connection and peace. My approach is client lead which builds agency as you begin to take back your life.
Does any of this sound like what you too are struggling with and what you may need to live your best life? I've healed my chronic anxiety using these powerful tools and the biggest wisdom I received is that we're not meant to heal alone. Let's work together so you can finally find relief and begin living the life that you were meant to live!
Are you struggling to "move on with your life" after experiencing the death of a loved one or grief? Are you finding it challenging to get yourself out of depression and take back control of your life? With all that life throws our way, we may want to give up and throw in the towel but if you are reading this - I know there is still a fight in you. Grief and depression can be isolating but it is my belief that humans are resilient and that God will never give you more than you can handle.
I have experience working with a variety of different clients and issues and have learned that through co - creating a safe, understanding and supportive environment - clients begin to transform their life. This is possible for YOU - even if you have tried a million times before.
I understand taking this step is hard and you may feel defeated - I have been there myself. We were not intended to go through this life alone, especially when facing difficult times. Let's take this next step together so that you can finally take back control of your life.
Are you overwhelmed with life’s challenges? Do you need a safe and supportive environment where you can work through difficulties in relationships, past trauma and improve your self-confidence? You are not alone.
I have experience working with adolescents, adults and families going through life changing transitions and active crises. I utilize a trauma - informed approach (EMDR) with a family systems understanding in order to better understand the uniqueness of the client while helping the client finally heal from trauma / chronically dysregulated nervous system.
I join my clients in a journey to help them feel safe and empowered to make changes / heal themselves. My empathetic and caring approach helps build rapport and make clients feel comfortable sharing their vulnerabilities and traumatic experiences. If you’re ready to take the next step on your healing journey, I am here to help guide you.
With my experience as a mobile crisis clinician, the spouse of a first responder and experience in a municipal police department, I recognize the unique challenges associated with working in crisis situations and the impact that can have on us. First responders, active military, and veterans often struggle to balance work related stressors while attempting to remain connected to those closest to them. I honor the courage that it takes to make the first step in strengthening your mental health. Through trauma informed therapy like EMDR, we can promote positive change while acknowledging the demands and sacrifices of the job.
Do you find yourself struggling to maintain a work-life balance, remaining present with your family and spouse, struggling to manage stress, dealing with addiction, anxiety or depression? Maybe you just feel like no one understands? As your therapist, I can provide a safe, supportive, and confidential place for you to have a voice.
Does any of this sound like what you too are struggling with? The biggest wisdom I received from working with people like yourself if that we're not meant to heal alone. Let's work together so you can finally find your voice and reconnect with what matters most!
