Do you want to improve communication in your relationship or have a personal goal in mind? Emotional pain can be the most stifling and difficult pain to endure, yet it can also be the catalyst for tremendous insight and growth. I specialize in working with individuals and couples, some who have endured traumas, encountered setbacks, have high stress lives and want positive change. My ideal client, individually or as a couple, is ready to re-discover their strengths, be free from the impact of past experiences, old or more recent, and is desiring growth within themselves and their relationships. I am an EMDR-trained trauma therapist based in CBT, and for couples have completed Gottman Method Levels 1 & 2 which I use in my work. I provide presentations for companies, at clinics and conferences around trauma, communication, emotions, strengths, and how to use them in our daily lives. If you are interested in pursuing therapy with me, I encourage you to contact me to determine if I am the right therapist for you. The personal traits that are most important to me in my work are empathy, warmth, humor, acceptance, and patience.
