Do you ever wake up and feel overwhelmed by the emotions that flood your mind instantly? Do you feel like you don't know how to make sense of these emotions as you go about your day trying to dodge them and stay focused? Or maybe you have anxiety over an important relationship in your life and thoughts that are all consuming so you can't concentrate. We all experience some form of anxiety and depression, but not all of us know how handle these emotions on our own effectively. I can help you scour through these overwhelming emotions and teach you to process them in a healthy manner. During our time together, I will provide a safe environment that supports you with confidence, to take the steps necessary to become a healthier individual. We will work in helping you make sense of what you are feeling, and learn the skills necessary to help you process in a way that is effective for you.

Are you or is someone you know coping with trauma/PTSD, anxiety, or serious depression? Is your son or daughter struggling to adjust through the teenage years? Are you struggling in your marriage, going through a divorce, or looking for guidance in establishing a blended family? I am a person-centered therapist and I view the client-therapist relationship to be of the utmost importance in counseling. My approaches include, but are not limited to: Cognitive-Behavioral therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). EMDR is a highly-researched, proven-effective therapy for trauma or negative life experiences which present themselves as anxiety and/or depression in your life. DBT is likewise a highly-researched therapy designed to help you balance change and acceptance as it comes to your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. As an integrative therapist, I incorporate these specialized therapies into your treatment as we explore your personal challenges and goals.
