Are you seeking to improve your relationships with your significant other, your family, or yourself? Do you yearn for a life where you have control over your own emotions and reactions, can make better decisions, and handle self-defeating behaviors? Whether you're seeking help for yourself, as a couple, or for your family, let's work together to calm and release your body, mind, and spirit from the past, so you can live a full and bountiful life today.

Trained in EMDR, I can help you heal from trauma or a lifetime of unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I approach everyone without judgment and with compassion, so you can heal in a way that's rewarding to your individual nature. I also specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy, DBT, IFS, CAMS, and mindfulness to assist you on your journey.

Everyone has the potential to be the person they want to be. Trauma, relationship issues, affairs, depression, and addictions can steer us off course. They don't define us.
