I am a licensed professional clinical counselor who is passionate about helping adolescents and adults heal from anxiety and depression caused by previous experiences.
Beyond working with older adolescents and adults, I have a special interest in working have a special interest in working with other therapists. I am an EMDRIA Approved EMDR Therapist, and am trained in (PCIT), and Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) and certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT). I find combining ego state and attachment-based interventions with EMDR therapy produces significant positive results.
I believe all humans have a universal need to feel safe and secure. A variety of problems can result when our security is threatened or violated, especially in childhood. Just like your body has a natural instinct to heal itself, your brain does as well, but sometimes the wound is too complex to heal on its own. Therapy bridges that gap.
It helps to have a partner when you are working to heal old wounds. Learning self-compassion instead of self-hatred and criticism is transformative, and this is a big part of my approach. It is such an honor for me when people share their story and invite me to help in their healing.
