  • It feels like your chest and stomach are being squeezed when somebody says “that thing” to you

  • Wanting to be close to others, but not wanting to trust anyone

  • Just feeling “blah” and don’t know why

  • Needing everything to go “just right” and have all the control

  • Can’t ever stop those annoying thoughts that stop you in your tracks

  • Shame, guilt, or taking blame for something that happened to you after all your friends say you “shouldn’t” feel like that

  • Waking up in the middle of the night feeling panicky but can’t remember your dreams (or having nightmares)

  • You wish you could share things with others, but just can’t bring yourself to say the thing

Together, we can work through all the things that are impacting you.

There is enough pressure in this world, and in your work. We can work together to relieve some of the pressure and start enjoying life again!

  • EMDR is an evidence-based treatment modality to help with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and so much more.

    I offer EMDR intensives if you would like to engage in a shorter time frame, or if your schedule does not allow for weekly sessions.

    Reach out and I can share more!

  • At this time, I do currently accept EAP strictly for 1st responders. If you would like more information, please reach out and I would be happy to direct you on how to get started.

  • There can be many things we are scared to admit we are thinking and feeling. Becoming a burden and saying “the thing” aloud can be so scary and shame wrapped up in it making it difficult to be honest with the ones who love us.

    A mental health professional can help you face “the thing”, find patterns, and not judge you one bit. There are scary things in our heads and you deserve to be seen for ALL that you are without any judgement or worry.

  • This is a common thought when deciding if therapy is right for you.

    Everyone needs help sometimes, and the most courageous thing to do is just reach out. Even if you don’t commit right now, you still did the hardest part.
