About

Chrysalis to Butterfly...

My focus around integrative psychotherapy allows me to use a variety of therapeutic approaches so I can meet you with what you need. I am certified in EMDR/flow trauma therapy, I specialize in sand tray therapy (not for kiddos), I am trained in Internal Family Systems therapy and Brainspotting, and work with Mindfulness Cognitive therapy, a large variety of coping tools, breathwork and..So. Much. More. Come find out that therapy is a good thing! You will not be pressured. Confidentiality is of the utmost importance. I will meet you where you're at emotionally. I am laid back, real, and am straightforward. I facilitate change, listen, and provide guidance for you to assist you in reaching your goals. Contact me when you want to get on your best path.
