I am EMDR certified and certified in BrainSpotting. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD. I offer a holistic approach to therapy starting with the "whole" person not just their diagnosis. I offer a calm, supportive and nonjudgemental approach to therapy. As Gabor Mate states in his book, "The Myth of Normal, "we each carry our wounds in our own way.Trauma is a psychic injury, lodged in our nervous system, mind, and body, lasting long past the originating incident or incidents." I assist clients in healing their wounds that contribute to the chaos in their nervous system, mind and/or their body.
I am certified in BrainSpotting and EMDR by the EMDR International Association. I have several trauma certifications. I am trained in dissociation, parts work and IFS informed. I continue evidence-based training through out the year to ensure I am up-to-date and well-rounded in my therapy approach. I am a Christian, however, I am not a faith base therapist.
Each person's wound has a unique story that requires empathy and support. I approach each wound with care, curiosity and compassion. I have additional training and experience working with Substance use issues and recovery, LGBTQ+, Veteran and first responders clients. Please reach out. I respond to all inquiries.
