About
Have anxiety and trauma kept you from having the life you want? Do you find that you feel nervous or on edge almost all the time? Perhaps these feelings show up in your interactions with other people or affect your sleep. You might even find your mind replaying the same disturbing image or sound when you close your eyes or whenever it’s quiet. Or possibly you experienced a series of repeated traumas that have made you question and doubt yourself? You know you have the potential to live a happier life, but you haven’t figured out how. You just wish you were over the past by now. I work with women who live with trauma, PTSD, substance abuse, and chronic illness. Living with these types of stress can impact every facet of your life leading to frustration and limitations as well as uncertainty, depression, and grief. My approach is grounded in compassion, tailored support, and a deep understanding of the mind-body connection. I am a seasoned trauma-informed therapist. I can help you reclaim your identity and purpose. If we’re working through difficult issues, I will hold the flashlight as we journey together at your pace. Email me today to start cultivating resilience and self-compassion. Specialties: I also specialize in working with people who are in recovery from addiction and are doing the work to rebuild their lives and their relationships and build sober support. I also provide therapy for therapists as well as people with chronic illness. Therapy isn't about being "broken" or reliving your worst days. It's about shifting the way you perceive yourself and the world to feel more peace. Credentials & Experience: Supporting trauma survivors and people impacted by difficult relationships with certifications in EMDR and in Mind-Body Medicine. 25 years of experience has shown me that growth and strength flourish by working through the tough stuff. Gently. And at your pace. But consistently. You can do this.
"I offer an integrative approach to therapy that merges EMDR, trauma therapy and Art Therapy all of which allow for deep processing. I am also trained in addiction counseling and it's impact on families. Not everyone responds to the same technique, this approach allows for the flexibility to choose the approach that best meets your needs."
