A little about PMPTherapy and me.

I work with teens, tweens, and adults, who experience painful emotions and have lingering negative thoughts and images due to anxiety, a traumatic experience, relationship issues, low self-esteem, stress, procrastination, grief, anger, depression, and peer relationships.

My areas of specialization are

Emergency Responders (i.e. Police Officers, Fire Fighters, Paramedics, and ER personnel)

Anxiety Disorders

Stress Management

PTSD and Trauma

In my session I use a combination of different therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, EMDR, and Mindfulness Therapy. You set the pace, I provide the guidance. My sessions are focused on teaching and practicing coping skills, and delving into deeper, underlying patterns of emotions and behaviors. Together we will explore what works best for you, and make a plan on how you can start feeling empowered and in control of your life.

Finding a therapist and starting the therapy process can be scary. So let’s not complicate things :) I offer a free 20 minute phone consultation to answer any questions you may have, discover a little about you to see if we are a good fit, and talk you through my sessions. We’ll discuss goals, what you can expect from working with me, and anything else you’d like to know before scheduling a session.
