Hybrid EMDR Basic Training September 29, 2023-October 1st, 2023 and October 27, 2023- October 29th, 2023

Throughout the course of my career thus far I have had the pleasure of working with individuals across the life span. What this means is that I see children all the way through adulthood. I have assisted children and adults who are struggling with ailments such as anxiety, self esteem, abuse. obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, identity, relational stress, behavioral problems, and trauma. I utilize modalities such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and EMDR with my adult clients and integrative play therapy with my child clients. I love working with clients who are open to change and willing to take the steps needed to reach their goals.
With adult clients, we will focus on the entanglement between our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions as well as how to live accepting uncertainty, struggles, and discomfort. These modalities also strive for a life in line with the client’s values using therapeutic tools to get us there. Through play, my child clients utilize play to express their inner world.
My goal in working with anyone is to have them end therapy feeling seen, more empowered, better functioning, and overall happier. Being able to facilitate the therapeutic process in which changed my life, is one of the greatest joys, passions, and purpose of my life. Please feel free to reach out to set up a consult and determine if we would be a good fit!
