Healing begins now. I'm here to help clients heal from their trauma. Tired of using trauma responses and skills that are no longer working? Or you are not sure what is a trauma response? Feeling so angry, numb, just don't want to think, feel or remember anything. The blank just isn't working anymore. The blank didn't work. Wondering if any or all of it was your fault. The answer is, it is not your fault. Learning to love yourself is hard for trauma survivors. I get that. Trauma healing is at your pace. Don't ever have to share what you do not want to. Nondisclosure is normal. One day you will know and feel that you are enough.
I offer the specialty of being trauma informed using psychoanalytic. Understanding the origins of the negative cognitive belief, relating it back to the present behaviors is apart of healing. The past is in the present. I use EMDR, talk therapy and mindfulness. I offer individual, couple and family therapy. I have a nonjudgmental approach with a safe space.
I have a direct upfront approach with empathy. I have tons of resources for client's needs as needed. I have years of experiences with developmental, and complex trauma. Having extensive experience in working with foster youth, complex trauma, the homeless population, addictions, and the reentry population. I believe everyone should have a safe place.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
