About The Therapist

I enjoy helping people become self-aware, accepting, heal and improve their quality of life, health and relationships.

My approach is client centered/led, strength based with focus on the individual person, their capacity, and their current day/process. I draw from a wide variety of models, and currently EMDR, IFS and EFT for couples. I especially enjoy helping people grow, to become self, other and spiritually aware. I work with adults dealing with PTSD, trauma, anxiety, attachments issues, relationships, addictions, personal enrichment and mortality. I enjoy working with individuals and couples; always striving to increase awareness, empathy, hope, love and connection. I have degrees in Counseling/Art

Therapy, Education and Fine Arts. My specialties include Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) and Internal Family Systems Model (IFS) with individual adults and couples. I also work with Graduate students and new therapists in both individual and small group settings.

I use a variety of evidence based models (science) to treat trauma and related disorders such as performance, relationship, depression, anxiety, substance use, mood disorders. I am trained in and use Psycho-education, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems Model (IFS), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) Couples, Family and Filial Therapy. I specialize in connection, client's articulation of issues, goals and success. My work ranges from specific issues to working with those engaged in a holistic healing of self, integrating mind body and spirit. My expertise is lived experience, strength based; enhancing what is working and understanding challenges, increasing self-nurturing, resiliency, passion and JOY.
