What draws me to this work is helping people feel better about themselves as they address the obstacles preventing them from living a more fulfilling, balanced, empowered, and values aligned life. My 25 years of extensive training and work history has been strengths based and trauma sensitive. I have worked in private practice, healthcare, hospice, bereavement and management.

I bring a compassionate, wholistic perspective and evidence based care to help integrate the wide range of ways trauma impacts people physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. I work collaboratively trusting in my clients innate sense of knowing and have an abiding respect for each individual’s unique life journey.

I provide both short-term solution-focused therapy, as well as longer term therapy for people dealing with complex problems or symptoms. I have expertise in utilizing EMDR and talk therapy in treating post-traumatic stress, traumatic incidents, trauma related to loss, relational issues, and phobias, as well as helping people move through difficult life transitions.

I am continually in awe of how effective EMDR is in healing the debilitating effects of trauma as it strengthens a person’s intrinsic sense of well being.
