Stressed? Anxious? Generally feeling overwhelmed with emotions, and need someone to talk to? Let's figure it out together! The first session will be more of exploration to identify your need for treatment. I put a lot of focus into trauma healing, utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This method can be used for many different issues, as well as processing any early trauma, this is often present when we can’t quite figure out why our mind and body are always on high alert. Our bodies do really well in telling us what we need to work through. I can help you become more attuned to your needs. I spent 3 years as a therapist in a substance use outpatient program in the state of Alaska, helping clients work through addiction and co-occurring disorders. I have worked with people from all walks of life and find humans have one thing in common, they want to feel heard. I will work WITH you and help empower you to reach your treatment goals. My family and I have finally planted our roots in Pensacola, Florida, where I am building up my private practice for in-person and telehealth services. I am excited and honored to be the person that you trust to help guide you through the healing process. By the way, I am quite funny. At least that is what I have been telling myself all these years.
