Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“I utilize Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR. These therapies are known for their effectiveness in treating anxiety, trauma, and stress. They offer a quicker path to relief compared to traditional therapy methods and can be particularly effective for individuals with complex trauma.”

About Me

I understand how anxiety, trauma, or stress can weigh you down. I offer Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR, powerful approaches designed to help you find relief and move forward. These focused techniques allow for a quicker path to processing difficult experiences. They are especially effective if you're navigating complex trauma. My aim is to support your journey towards a calmer, more stable daily life.

Approach

With a focus on helping adults navigate complex emotions and past traumas, I use EMDR and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to facilitate healing. If you're in Illinois or North Carolina, you can access my online therapy services, making it convenient to start your journey towards resilience and strength. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, ADHD, or seeking LGBTQI+ support, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore and process these challenges. Let's work together to foster a sense of peace and stability in your life
