About

I’m a Therapist committed to helping people of all ages learn how to understand themselves and others. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs around your life experiences. I believe in taking a person-centered approach to helping clients reach their goals. If you’re interested in scheduling an appointment with me, please Request Appointment above. I’m passionate about advocacy for medicinal cannabis & trauma and abuse survivors. EMDR Explained I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a psychotherapy that enables people to self-heal from the emotional stress of disturbing life experiences using bilateral stimulation (both sides of your body hearing a sound or moving).
