Are you feeling isolated? Are you lacking true connection with others? Do you often have behaviors that negatively impact you and your loved ones? With over a decade of experience as a Substance Use Disorder counselor, I have witnessed the connection between trauma and destructive behaviors, like drug use. I have found that tailoring therapy to a client's needs is crucial for healing to happen, and I will always invite you to show up as your authentic self. As a lifelong learner, I see great value in teaching a new skill or tool at each session that can be applied in your everyday life.
Also trained in EMDR, one of my primary focuses is to provide relief from uncomfortable emotions and memories through desensitization. I also use Equine Assisted Psychotherapy to foster self-discovery through connection with nature. I invite you to explore these unconventional techniques to break through walls that may seem indestructible.
If you are looking for relief from lack of connection, behaviors, or memories that cause you discomfort, or a caring soul to lend you an ear, please reach out. I may have a solution for you.

In my practice I often use EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy. In your first session, we will explore what brought you into therapy and create a plan together to support your goals.
