I offer in-person individual sessions at my office in Vernon, Connecticut (with COVID precautions in place) as well as telehealth appointments for clients throughout the state.

Trauma Informed Therapy

Trauma-informed therapy is all about understanding how past experiences can shape our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This approach prioritizes a safe and supportive space where you can feel empowered to share your story and begin to heal. By focusing on your unique journey, I can help you build resilience and find ways to move forward. Whether you're dealing with specific trauma or just looking to improve your overall well-being, I am here to guide you with compassion and understanding.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)

When trauma occurs, our brains often struggle to process the memories, resulting in distress and symptoms that can disrupt our daily lives. EMDR is a therapeutic approach designed to help you heal from these traumatic experiences. It's especially effective for those dealing with PTSD, anxiety, or difficult memories.
During sessions, you'll revisit these events while engaging in guided eye movements, which can reduce their emotional impact. This process taps into your brain's natural healing abilities, making the memories less distressing and allowing you to regain control over your life. If you’re looking for relief from past traumas or overwhelming emotions, EMDR could be a powerful path to healing.
