I offer counseling services to adults ages 18 and up, and I offer consultation services to therapists seeking EMDR Certification. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, a holistic therapeutic approach that allows me to use other treatment modalities within the model, to help facilitate healing and growth. EMDR Therapy is grounded in the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) theory, a learning theory that suggests everything we do is learned. Our adaptations are initially helpful but can become outdated over time. Through EMDR Therapy, we can reframe and release these outdated adaptations, empowering us to live more fulfilling lives
Research indicates that a positive rapport between client and therapist is highly indicative to successful therapy outcomes. Using a client-centered approach, I am able to connect with clients in a way that fosters a trusting relationship. Clients have shared that they appreciate my authentic and down-to-earth manner as well as the ability to create an environment that is comfortable, safe, and even fun sometimes. I don't know how to be any other way!

What to Expect During Your First Session
Your first session will last approximately 55-60 minutes. During this time, we’ll review policies, discuss any questions you have, and ensure you know what to expect. Once the logistics are covered, I’ll focus on understanding your experiences and any challenges you’re facing. A comprehensive assessment will help me gain a clear picture of your unique history, life experiences, and current concerns. This process may take one to three sessions. With this foundation, we’ll collaborate to create a personalized plan to support you in achieving your goals.
Duration of Therapy
Length of therapy can vary from a handful of sessions for someone dealing with an single-incident trauma such as a car accident, to several years depending on the unique needs and goals of each client. I practice long term intermittent counseling, meaning after you accomplish your goals in our work, you may wish to step away from counseling for awhile and return at a later date when you feel you need it again.
Benefits and Risks of Counseling
Therapy is a collaborative process where we explore your experiences, challenges, and emotions to help you create meaningful change and live more fully. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, past experiences, or relationship difficulties, therapy provides space for you to gain deeper self-understanding and work toward healing.
The Benefits
Therapy can lead to positive changes such as:
The Challenges
Growth isn’t always easy. Therapy may bring up painful memories or emotions like sadness, anger, or fear. It can also impact relationships as you begin to see things from new perspectives. At times, I may gently challenge your thoughts or assumptions to help you break through barriers.
It’s also common to feel worse before you feel better. Change can be frustrating and take time, but staying engaged in the process can lead to meaningful, lasting progress. If you ever have concerns about your therapy journey, we will work through them together.
My priority is to support your well-being, and every step we take will be focused on your personal growth and healing.
Confidentiality
Generally, communication between client and therapist is completely confidential and will not be released to any third party without written authorization from the client, except where required by law. Exceptions to confidentiality include, but are not limited to, reporting child, elder and dependent adult abuse, when a client makes a serious threat of violence toward a reasonably identifiable victim, or when a client is dangerous to himself or herself or the person or property of another. Confidentiality may also be breached if I am required by law to respond to a subpoena.
Electronic communications such as cell phones and email are not always secure and can be intercepted.
