What I Can Offer

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and PTSD counseling to substance recovery support and beyond.

In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help attain the personal growth they’re striving for.

I provide adult outpatient counseling for mental health and addictions.

Treatment specialization includes:

Therapy for Abuse, Depression and PTSD

I have specialized training in trauma and dissociation. The body tells the story, and using CBT alone does not impact the nervous system fully.

EMDR & Somatic Experiencing for Trauma Resolution

Neuroscience is all about Porges’ poly-vagal theory and how it impacts the body with PTSD. We learn poly-vagal theory in order to improve quality of life.

Certified Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) Provider

The body has an innate mechanism for relieving stored tension and trauma. Most of my clients use and love TRE for nervous system regulation.

I use this protocol as a stand-alone therapy or as an adjunct to therapy in office. The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is an evidence-based therapeutic tool designed to reset the nervous system and return it to safety. Designed to work with other therapeutic approaches and modalities, the SSP features specially filtered music that stimulates the vagus nerve. This protocol helps children and adults improve:

Emotion Focused Couples Therapy

Certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) Practitioner

I use this system of psychological techniques to help clients break the cycle of chronic pain by helping them retrain their brain to interpret & respond to bodily signals appropriately.  PRT follows five main steps:

2. Gather and Reinforce Personal Evidence

3. Observe and Evaluate Pain Sensations Through a Lens of Safety

4. Address emotional threats

5. Shift toward more positive feelings and sensations.
