I believe it is important to have a good fit between therapist and client in order to do your best work in therapy. I am deeply passionate about helping people access their fullest potential for their life. There are a number of things that can get in the way of someone being able to do that, it is my job to help you identify what is standing in your way and help you build the skills to overcome those obstacles. While symptom relief is important and always a goal in therapy with me, I believe that our life story has clues that tell us about specific ways we have been hurt and damaged that often lead to themes of familiar hurts as we move forward in life. Understanding your life story and how it has shaped you can help you to forgive yourself and others and open you up to living less encumbered by the themes of hurt from your past. Walking this journey toward deeper healing is one of my particular niches in therapy. I consider myself to be an especially good fit as a therapist for anyone who wants to really dig in and do good, deep work that will have a lasting impact on your life moving forward. My skill set is important but it is ultimately your work. My professional style leads me to empower clients to claim this process of growth for themselves. I feel I have succeeded in my work with a client if they can begin to develop their own internal therapeutic voice. I have often had clients give me feedback that our work together has allowed them to get to this point. The chance to walk this road with clients for a season is an honor that I feel privileged to be allowed to participate in. 

I have a wide range of experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds dealing with a myriad of issues. Some of the clients that I am particularly skilled at working with include anxiety (generalized anxiety, panic and OCD), issues of codependency, narcissistic personality disorder, professional development and career changes, life/work balance, depression, dysthymia, grief and loss, postpartum depression. 

I have experience working with clients of all ages including young children (attachment issues, depression, grief and loss, anxiety, OCD), adolescents, adults and couples. My work with couples is greatly informed by the work of Harville Hendrix and John Gottmann. 

In 2020 I decided to add EMDR training to my skill set. EMDR is short for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a mind/body integrated approach to therapy that has a solid body of research behind it as an approved treatment of trauma. Many people may only think that acute (intense and sudden) trauma is the only kind of trauma that exists but the reality is that much of what keeps us feeling stuck in life is a result of some kinds of trauma. I would love to tell you more about the nature of trauma and how EMDR works as an effective treatment approach but it can be difficult to explain succinctly. The following videos are helpful place to start but if you are at all curious to know more please reach out to schedule one of our free 30-minute consultations. I am currently a trained EMDR therapist working toward my formal certification.
