About me
At Neuro Nuance Therapy and EMDR, PLLC, I use EMDR therapy to help adults heal from PTSD, complex trauma, and dissociation. My work also supports recovery from related struggles such as anxiety, depression, and substance use.
My personal recovery journey brought me into the counseling field where I’ve spent the last 10 years helping people heal and begin build the life they deserve to live. My training is in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, supported by Ego State Therapy, and Internal Family Systems informed therapy. Helping people heal at a core level is why I do this work. I believe people are capable of far greater change than just reducing the symptoms of a diagnosis. My goal is to help you as a person not a diagnosis. It can be difficult to find mental health care where you are actually listened to, appreciated as an individual, and met with open-mindedness, compassion, and respect. I've experienced poor care first hand. My why as a therapist is to cut through the systemic issues in the mental health system and connect with people in a meaningful way that makes a difference.
