I bring 20 years of professional practice and lived experience as a therapist and yet every session with a client sparks something new. Therapy is a creative and collaborative process with a skilled and trusted professional who will know when to follow and when to lead, and who will ultimately be the right fit for you! Initially, my focus is to cultivate the safety and warmth needed for you to begin this process toward meaningful change. If you are seeking an improvement in your emotional health, going through a life transition, or struggling with the past, I encourage you to connect with me via email/phone.
Using a trauma-responsive and collaborative approach, I will partner with you to determine which approach will be the best fit for improving your overall well-being. Together we can explore how to manage and heal from life's many challenges and create new pathways for change. I am a certified EMDR therapist, trained in IFS-Level 1 (IFS-I), ART, DBR & EFT.

I create space for my clients to process and understand their life stories, identities, relationships. Often we find there are traumatic events, grief, and emotional pain that need to be processed and reorganized so that deep healing can begin.
