Forward Motion Counseling and Wellness, LLC

I am a trauma-informed therapist, with an eclectic approach to treatment. I am fully trained in Eye-movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through the Institute for Creative Mindfulness, with advanced training in the use of EMDR for Perinatal Trauma (Touchstone Institute). Within sessions, I utilize interventions rooted in attachment-based, polyvagal, dialectical behavioral, and person centered theories. I frequently incorporate art and creative expression, somatic awareness, and ego state principles. I pride myself on my ability to connect with clients through authentic interactions, compassion, and humor. In doing so, I have cultivated a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued for who they are. I have additional experience working with survivors of sexual traumas, and am passionate about assisting clients as they navigate establishing or re-establishing a healthy connection to intimacy. Other areas of specialty include stressors related to life transitions, anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, and parenting skill development. I view my work as a therapist as an immense privilege. I am honored to meet my clients where they are and embrace each and every unique journey.
