Services

Care That Meets You Where You Are

Every person's healing journey is unique. I offer a range of evidence-based, trauma-informed services for children, adolescents, and adults — tailored to your needs, your pace, and your goals.

01

Healing trauma at its roots

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is one of the most well-researched and effective treatments for trauma available today. Trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR by Laurel Parnell, I bring both clinical expertise and deep compassion to this powerful modality.

EMDR works by helping the brain reprocess traumatic memories that have become "stuck" — memories that continue to cause distress, intrusive thoughts, or emotional reactivity long after the original event. Through a structured, gentle process, EMDR allows the nervous system to integrate these experiences so they no longer hold the same charge.

What this can help with

Reduces the emotional intensity of traumatic memories
Decreases symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression
Builds inner resources and resilience
Works at your own pace — you are always in control
02

A safe foundation for every session

Trauma-Informed Care

Trauma-informed care is not a single technique — it is a foundational lens through which I approach every client and every session. It means understanding that many of the struggles people face are rooted in past experiences of harm, loss, or overwhelm.

In a trauma-informed practice, safety comes first. I work to create an environment where you feel physically and emotionally safe, where your autonomy is respected, and where healing happens at a pace that honors your nervous system. This approach is woven into everything I do — from how I ask questions to how I respond to your story.

What this can help with

Safety and trust as the foundation of every session
Respect for your autonomy and pace
Understanding behavior through the lens of survival
Reducing re-traumatization in the therapeutic process
03

Finding your way back to yourself

Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety and depression are among the most common — and most treatable — mental health challenges. Whether you're experiencing persistent worry, low mood, panic, or a sense of emptiness, you don't have to white-knuckle your way through it.

Using a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based approaches, and EMDR when appropriate, I help clients understand the roots of their anxiety and depression and build lasting tools for regulation, resilience, and peace.

What this can help with

Identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns (CBT)
Build emotional regulation and distress tolerance (DBT)
Develop mindfulness and self-compassion practices
Address underlying trauma that fuels anxiety or depression
04

Developmentally sensitive care for young people

Children & Adolescents

Young people face unique challenges — and they deserve a therapist who truly understands their world. I provide developmentally sensitive counseling for children and adolescents, meeting them where they are with warmth, creativity, and genuine respect.

Whether a child is navigating anxiety, school stress, family changes, trauma, or identity questions, I create a space where they feel heard and valued. For adolescents, I offer a confidential, non-judgmental environment to explore their experiences and build the skills they need to thrive.

What this can help with

Age-appropriate, developmentally sensitive approaches
Support for anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions
LGBTQIA+ affirming care for youth of all identities
Collaboration with parents and caregivers when appropriate
