My Therapy Style

I want to meet you where you are and help you get to where you want to be.  I believe that most people are doing the best we can with what we have in the moment, but sometimes we need more.  I would love to help you find what you need to live a more peaceful life.  Don’t let your past determine your future.  Change is possible.  I utilize the approaches of EMDR therapy, brainspotting and therapeutic prayer, depending on the preferences and needs of the client.
