When life feels overwhelming, isolating, and unfair, it can be difficult to find someone you can trust to safely process challenging emotions and develop effective coping strategies. I provide a non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and collaborative approach that is strengths-based and person-centered. My work integrates EMDR, DBT, and Narrative Therapy, and I am always open to tailoring the approach to your preferences. I'm trained in EMDR and have seen incredible results with this approach. I love helping my clients identify their strengths while building momentum and confidence in reaching both small and larger goals along the way.
I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals facing a wide range of struggles. Challenging negative beliefs and narratives we’re stuck in, while working to build more positive self-beliefs, is a key part of the process. I view the therapeutic space as a sacred trust, and I am deeply honored by the courage, resilience, and perseverance of my client
Finding meaning, purpose, and fulfillment is a journey of discovery—and sometimes, rediscovery. I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation to see if we might be a good fit. I’d love to connect with you, explore the negative beliefs you may be stuck in, and work together to build positive ones while identifying your strengths and areas of struggle.

I use EMDR and IFS with clients struggling with negative self-talk, beliefs, trauma, addictions, or other mental health concerns. We start by taking a history and getting to know your parts and Self. By processing memories and unburdening parts, we build healthier, preferred roles for parts and new positive beliefs. Change can be rapid, lasting, and powerful.

I primarily integrate EMDR with IFS; using Somatic approaches along with DBT, and Narrative approaches in an eclectic style. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I help explore how your self-beliefs were shaped by life experiences. Using EMDR and IFS, we process trauma and unburden parts, allowing more empowering, preferred beliefs to emerge.
