It takes courage to ask for help and I honor your courage in taking this step toward greater wellness. As an experienced psychotherapist with over 22 years of experience, it is my goal to work with you or your childteen in overcoming anxiety, stress, fear, panic attack and PTSD so that you are able to gain a sense of safety, wholeness, and internal calm. We do this by developing coping tools that you can use on a daily basis that focus on grounding techniques, quieting distressing thoughts, and building on your existing strengths to regain confidence and a positive sense of Self. Utilizing various approaches including a specialization in EMDR, I will work with you to create a tailored treatment plan that integrates Mindfulness-based practices, Somatic body-based approaches, and the Flash Technique. When working with children I utilize play and sand tray therapy to work through your child's anxiety, fears, trauma and behavioral challenges. Together, we will move forward in an empowering, validating, and safe way. My approach is down-to-earth, interactive, and solution-oriented. I have had the honor of helping people over the past 22 years resolve the struggles they have been facing and return to or establish a life free of anxiety, trauma, and panic.
