You've reached a point in life where you want to feel differently; think differently. 


When faced with struggles in life, you do not have to battle these issues alone - there is a caring, licensed professional that is available to help guide you. I understand that seeking therapy can sometimes be a scary, daunting task.

However, it can also be what transforms your life and where real healing begins. While meeting with me, expect a warm and accepting environment that is free from judgment.
My priority is to LISTEN; this is your outlet for you to feel supported and to speak freely and honestly to achieve that higher sense of clarity that you seek.

In session, you will be provided with the tools to overcome and clear your past and current traumas/issues. I specialize in the internationally recognized neuro-psych approach of EMDR therapy as well as integrating the option for behavioral health & wellness coaching to utilize mind and body mindfulness practices.
​
Open yourself up to the possibility of a future that is different, hopeful, and fulfilling. With extensive experience and a passion for working with children, teens, adults, and the elderly, I am skilled to develop an individualized treatment plan best suited for your therapeutic needs. APPROACH COUNSELING DIFFERENTLY --- I look forward to speaking with you!

​Food for thought on perception:

​What happens when 2 people perceive the same thing differently?
For example, if your perception of a given event doesn't line up with mine, who's perception of that event is true?
My clients interests are my ultimate concern, and your perception of reality is the one that matters. 
Serving my clients means doing my utmost to show that your truth represents the ultimate truth.  
My role is to uncover the facts that support that perception, because my clients perception is their truth.
My role is to also challenge those beliefs with thoughtful dialogue to determine the validity of those ideas when faced with the common disconnect of logical/rational thinking that simultaneously so often occurs with irrational feelings. 
What is your perception of this life?
