Introduction

I'm a trauma informed counselor dedicated to helping people move beyond their trauma. I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients achieve their goals. I'm passionate about using the transformative techniques of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients process their residual trauma and finally achieve emotional healing. Feel calmer and more present in the face of adversities. Grow confidence in your ability to navigate obstacles with resilience. Cultivate the meaningful and fulfilling relationships you’ve always wanted. You don’t have to grapple with this alone any longer. Call me now for your free consultation, and let’s get started on your healing journey today!
