Are you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of where to turn? You are not alone. I am a trauma specialist who has compassion and understanding. My approach to clients is Client Centered and Trauma Informed Care. I help clients to understand how to make decisons that will empower them. I provide Direct Neurofeedback, which has been proven to help anxiety, depression, and traumatic brain injury to my practice. Currently providing Telehealth and in person sessions.
