My specialties include working with client’s who are struggling to find their place in their life, whether that is due to career issues, relationship issues, stress management, anger management, or someone that is just in need of developing new skills to be successful in their life. Have you ever asked yourself, “How did I get here? Why can’t I figure this out? Why do these thoughts/feelings overwhelm me?” If so, you are not alone, and these are common questions most of my clients or families have. I have over 20 years of experience empowering clients to regain their sense of self and purpose is my goal. I empower you with tools to not just find answers, but the solutions to help you understand, become aware, and make the changes you want to make. I am passionate about meeting you where you are, helping you redefine what is important and achievable, and creating a path to get there. I offer a supportive and enthusiastic relationship, a safe place to explore life struggles, understand difficult issues, develop new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations to lead a more successful life. You will feel understood, validated, and free of judgement in our sessions. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), certified in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy(assists in resolving distressing images and decreasing negative physical sensations), and utilize other varied approaches that meet your needs.  I look forward to meeting you, discussing your story and creating a new chapter. Invest in yourself, you are worth it! I offer in-person and online sessions.
