SERVICES

Given my personal and professional experience, I have a strong foundation related to healthy child and family functioning. However, Laurel Parnell’s Attachment Focused – Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (AF-EMDR) Training truly transformed my practice and equipped me to help others overcome life’s challenges. In addition to AF-EMDR, I rely most heavily on Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness, and other highly effective techniques to increase coping and well-being.

I serve individuals, couples, families and groups of all ages and backgrounds, who present with a variety of disturbance and dysfunction. During initial sessions, I focus on the client's reason for attending therapy and collaborate with them to develop a plan to achieve desired outcomes. 

AF-EMDR and MI are my two preferred treatment modalities to quickly and effectively address and resolve whatever may be of concern. Trauma, whether acute or complex, is very often a root cause for distressing symptoms and presenting problems. Therefore, as soon as possible, I work with individuals to apply bi-lateral stimulation and tap in foundational resources to achieve rapid relief and improve their situation. 

I take my practice and partnership with clients very seriously and sincerely strive to provide high quality services and outcomes.
