About

We all struggle with anxiety and sadness at times. Gaining tools and information on how our brains work, our body's capacity, our thought patterns, emotions, and how to take self-ownership, allows us to navigate the rough times more easily. When we work on ourselves, our relationships and the way we feel about ourselves can be positively impacted. Let's collaborate on your road to self-discovery and change! I help couples learn how to work through conflict, elevate their sex lives, rebuild their relationship after an affair, learn parenting skills, and consciously uncouple. I support those struggling with OCD, anxiety, self-harm, religious shame, and grief with CBT and self-compassion. I treat trauma to lower emotional triggers using EMDR and Brainspotting. It is a privilege to hold other's stories and to invest in a person's desire to do differently. If you would like to walk this road of self-discovery and healing together, please contact me. I would love to hear from you! Specialties: Typical sessions involve discussing the most important issues to the client and using cognitive or dialectical behavior therapy, self-compassion, and mindfulness to provide tools for the client to take home and practice. When symptoms begin to improve, then we delve into relational and trauma-related issues to address the client's whole system. Credentials & Experience: I am certified in two trauma modalities, EMDR and Brainspotting, and am currently being trained with the national organization, The Couples Institute. I work with couples, teens, and adult individuals.

"With couples, I subscribe to Bowen Family Systems theory and the Developmental Model where differentiation, interpersonal neurobiology, and attachment theory reign."
