I have 25+ years of experience as a volunteer, therapist, life coach, and advocate, working with individuals impacted by trauma. As a therapist, my specialty includes working with those affected by early childhood trauma, recent trauma, and/or ongoing traumatic situations. I am trained & certified in EMDR, Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, Parts Work (IFS), Intergenerational Trauma, Archetypal Psychology, Sand Tray, & Dream Analysis. I work from a depth-oriented approach, addressing trauma from every possible vantage point, since trauma is stored in the body, thoughts/beliefs, emotions, nervous system, & soul. This is why we can feel triggered so easily. I have both personal and professional life experiences that provide a deep understanding of the issues my clients struggle with, allowing me a uniquely empathetic perspective. You don't have to keep suffering alone. Call TODAY to begin your healing journey. I also offer virtual EMDR for those who prefer virtual sessions.
