I know how challenging it can be to reach out for help; you are taking the best step in seeking a partner for personal healing.  I will work alongside of you to create positive changes in your life, resolve conflicts, and towards the goals you desire.  As a counselor, I work with individuals coping with various concerns related to neurodiversity, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, PTSD/ complex trauma, caregiver concerns, relationship issues, parenting struggles, communication skills, and general life dissatisfaction.   I use a trauma-informed approach to therapy which combines client focused therapy, psychodynamic applications, play therapy, and EMDR.  I also have a background in DIR (Developmental Individual difference Relationship based model) in regards to families that have neurodivergence. 

Specialties: EMDR, Trauma/ cPTSD, Neurodiversity, Anxiety, Depression, Intrapersonal Violence, Parenting, Special Need Children and Adolescence.
