I provide counseling and psychotherapy services from a wellness perspective. I help individuals with a wide variety of emotional and behavior health issues. I have experience working with the LGBTQ community and beyond. I also specialize in the use of exposure and response prevention (ERP) to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). I am trained in the use of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), an effective treatment for trauma and PTSD as well as issues with anxiety. I run the day to day operations of the business (e.g., budgeting, advertising, record keeping).
