EMDR Training and The Flash Technique

I treat all ages of children and adults. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. I work with clients who have a variety of challenges, some of which are PTSD, trauma from sexual abuse, family counseling, relationship, depression, low self-esteem, mood and anxiety struggles, stress, loss and grief, gender identity, anger management, and adjustment and transition issues.

My goal is to provide my clients with tools so that they can achieve their own vision of health and happiness.

I have received training in TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention) and work through a trauma informed lens . I am certified in Triple P Parenting so I can help families improve their parenting skills for their families. In addition, I am a Registered Play Therapist and believe in the power of “play” in a person and family’s healing.
