SERVICES

I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, mood difficulties, life transitions, grief, trauma, and relationship-related concerns. Counseling provides a supportive space to better understand your emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, strengthen self-awareness, and work toward meaningful change.

I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, mood difficulties, and related emotional challenges. Using approaches such as CBT and DBT-informed strategies, we can work together to identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping skills, and build greater emotional awareness and resilience.

Major life changes can bring uncertainty, stress, and emotional challenges. Counseling can provide a space to process experiences such as grief, relationship changes, family transitions, or other significant adjustments while developing strategies to move forward.

Most people associate the term trauma with a catastrophic experience like war, a natural disaster, or a violent assault. We call those the Big “T” traumas. Big “T” traumas can typically lead to extreme symptoms of PTSD. Individuals experiencing those symptoms are more likely to be identified early on and receive psychiatric help.

It is the little “t” traumas that slip through the cracks. If you have lived through emotional abuse, bullying, harassment, relationship loss, or any distressing event that is impacting your ability to handle stress, you can safely call it a trauma response.

Everyone handles stressors differently. Although we are resilient as a specie, we are not without our vulnerabilities. The goal of a therapeutic relationship will be trauma integration by helping you identify and label root causes of your trauma and developing self-regulation skills in a safe and judgement-free space.

What is EMDR therapy?

As an EMDR-trained clinician, I work by directing your eye movements to help you relieve traumatic or triggering experiences in brief doses. Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing is a form of psychotherapy that helps people heal from complex trauma that is often difficult to heal from. The World Health Organization recommends EMDR and CBT since these techniques "help people reduce vivid, unwanted, repeated recollections of traumatic events" (WHO News Release, 2013). As an EMDR-trained clinician, I work with complex trauma with the goal of reducing the power of traumatic memories.

Many of us hesitate to discuss conflicts at home with strangers for a myriad of reasons. As a therapist, I am licensed to provide evidence-based couple interventions, while maintaining confidentiality. 

I have completed Level 1 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy to help couples recognize and resolve everyday conflicts, stonewalling, and communication issues. As a certified Prepare/Enrich facilitator, I provide marital and pre-marital counseling to help you build a meaningful and resilient connection, regardless of the stage of your relationship. 

Please note: I provide couples counseling on a self-pay basis. At this time, insurance benefits are not used for couples counseling. While some insurance plans may provide coverage under a family therapy benefit, I do not offer family therapy services.

Self-Pay Rate: $150 per 53-minute session
