Message to clients

I'm really happy that you've gotten as far as looking at profiles of therapists. Finding a therapist can be a huge step, and often a very challenging and complicated one. Even reaching out and messaging a therapist takes incredible bravery, and I want to assist you in finding all of those victories in your life. This is the approach that I bring to all of my clients. Processing and identifying the challenges that you face on a daily basis is important. What is even more important is that I will give you the tools to not only live with these challenges, but also assist you in reprocessing events that have happened through the use of EMDR. These approaches often help you with not only being able to challenge what you've experienced, but also learn to change those memories and thoughts as a reference, and let go of the emotions, and feeling that you may feel when when thinking about them. Every step of the way I will meet you with compassion and grace, and will help you push towards really knowing and understanding yourself.
