My Approach to Therapy

If you are looking for a down-to-earth counselor to help you reach your goals, then that's me! I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, or family issues. Clients frequently come in with concerns that are often related to trauma or relationships. I use a mix of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed therapy, and coping skills to decrease distress and help people find happiness. I want to help you succeed by offering support and compassion as you find your way. If you are ready for a positive change, I am ready to help!

My Practice & Services

I understand how difficult it is to ask for help! It takes courage to ask for help, to take those first steps. I want to make the transition into counseling as easy and gentle as possible! I am here when you are ready.

Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With

I specialize in anxiety, depression, traumaPTSD, partner betrayal related to sex addiction, and difficult family situations. I teach coping skills so you have something tangible to use between sessions. I utilize several types of therapy including CBT, EMDR, EFT, and more to provide a custom treatment plan for your needs.
