My therapeutic approach is grounded in my belief that we are wired for relationship with ourselves, others, and God. My hope is to provide a safe and sacred space for clients so that they are able to look more deeply into their story and begin to heal and find relational wholeness.
My practice is influenced by attachment theory, internal family systems, and intergenerational therapy. I am also trained in EMDR, a therapeutic approach that uses eye movements to reprocess traumatic events so that the disturbing material is remembered and felt in a new and less distressing way.
When I am not practicing, I love spending time with my husband of 19 years and three children.
Currently, I see individual adults and couples.
I am especially passionate about:
Anxiety
Depression
Family of origin Issues
Grief
Codependence
Seasons of Loneliness
Self-esteem/Identity Issues
Trauma
12-step Recovery
