Anxiety sometimes looks like panic attacks and a tapping foot. Often though, it can also look like anger or isolation. Understanding that anxiety can present in many ways is just the first step in providing relief from it.

I have worked within the system and have seen its short comings. Through firsthand experience I have seen the missed opportunities to heal children and families. Now, in my role as a therapist, I have a unique opportunity to fill the gap.

With the populations I serve, I have seen a spectrum of abuse. Much of the time, it looks nothing like it does on a lifetime movie. I understand that the things that may be most painful to you, may not sound the most traumatic to others. I offer an advanced method of treating trauma known as EMDR as well as other evidence-based trauma treatment in order to provide relief for those who have suffered from abuse.

My career began working in addictions. Through that I have learned there is no 1 size fits all approach to treatment. I carefully listen to the full circumstances of the client, then together we determine a treatment approach best for them.

The key to treating unhealthy attachment begins with a wonderful therapeutic relationship with your therapist. I place equal emphasis on our therapeutic relationship as I do science-based treatments.

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or, as it is more commonly known, EMDR, is a highly successful psychotherapy technique used to treat anxiety as well as post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction.
