About

I am not accepting new clients at this time. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who specializes in the treatment of trauma. I define trauma as an unhealed wound that continues to affect daily living. People who experience trauma often develop adaptive strategies to cope, but those strategies tend to become problematic as time goes by. It is important to remember that no child is responsible for their own abuse. Any assault on a person is the responsibility of the person who is committing violence. Trauma is not weakness, but an opportunity to become strong at the broken places. EMDR Therapy is an evidence-based clinical intervention that has been shown to help alleviate the symptoms of ongoing trauma and assist clients in reframing their experiences. Essentially, EMDR Therapy helps "make your past your past." EMDR Therapy may be used in combination with other interventions and is individualized to each client.
