Wesley Chapel CounselingLLC

The biggest joy of my professional career is seeing my clients thrive and knowing how far they have come. I’m here to help you recognize and break old patterns, letting go of thoughts and coping strategies that no longer serve you. I will help you build up your self-esteem, strengthen and repair relationships, and improve communication with yourself and others. I take an integrative approach to working with conditions such as depression, anxiety, and relationship struggles, and borrow from approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and mindfulness. When working with kids, I draw from my training in Child-Centered Play Therapy, an evidenced-based modality that helps children express themselves and work through difficult emotions in a safe and supportive environment. 

​

In addition, I am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) trained clinician, specializing in work with individuals with histories of trauma. EMDR is beleived to be the gold standard for treating PTSD, or post-traumatic stress disorder, and other forms of traumatic stress. EMDR has the highest recommendation across most clinical practice guidelines, including the US Department of Veterans Affairs, the US Department of Defense, the Clinical Practice Guideline for Management of PTSD, the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies, the United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, and the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council. I believe many mental health issues stem from traumatic memories, and those memories, once processed, can lead to life-changing positive results.

I am available for in-person and telehealth sessions currently, and look forward to connecting with you as you begin the growth and healing process.
