Interactions with a loved one can bring out the very best and worst in us. If the dynamic with your partner or child/teen is a repeated source of pain, I am here to help. Instead of trying to understand each other, most make accusations & get defensive. I help couples and families to uncover feelings driving their interactions and reactions and then teach communication skills to help them transform the way they relate and connect. I truly believe that a loving and supportive relationship/family is one the most amazing gifts we can give to ourselves, children, and loved ones. Using CBT & EMDR therapy and other trauma modalities, I work with children, teens, and adults seeking support in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, emotional distress, life stressors, trauma, PTSD, relationship difficulties,and the aftermath of trauma.Whether it's a recent stressor or long term issue, help is within your reach. I'm continually humbled by the tragedies folks can heal from. I am trained in EMDR to help trauma & PTSD symptoms. With 23+ years within the mental health field I can support individuals, couples, and families in building strong bonds and connection in their most important relationships using CBT, DBT, IFS, EMDR therapy, Somatic therapy, and neuroaffirming.
