I am Here for You

I work with adults like you to find balance and inner strength - sometimes by engaging in EMDR therapy to work through trauma from the past, DBT skills training to learn more adaptive ways of regulating emotions and interacting with others, or by talking through problems with traditional "talk therapy". I also love using aromatherapy in my work. With pure essential oils, you can experience greater health and wellness than ever before...

Regardless of the approach we use, I will be there with you to navigate through the ups and downs of your journey toward wellness. I specialize in trauma-informed therapies, often connecting present-day problems to traumatic experiences from early life, recognizing how attachment with caregivers in early childhood affects your relationships today, with others and with yourself. Counseling sometimes requires we delve deep into parts of yourself you usually try to hide from. I'll be there with you every step of the way, providing a safe, judgment-free space for you to do the work.
