My website

I work with people who are ready to do the deeper work to understand who they are, why their nervous system responds a certain way, and how they can stop repeating patterns. This often looks like understanding family systems, transgenerational trauma, and core beliefs. I use evidence based modalities such as AF-EMDR to process trauma, and have extensive training in trauma and stress, and post traumatic growth. My typical clients experience childhood trauma (attachment, 'mother wounding'), complex trauma, recent and past trauma (sexual assault), relationship problems (infidelity), burn out (stress leave), and midlife crisis.

I utilize Experiential and Depth psychology (Jung) approaches, such as attachment focused AF-EMDR (Parnell Institute), Dreamwork and Active Imagination, and Jungian Sandplay to explore one's unconscious, and bring unconscious material to the surface. Sometimes this material can be difficult. The goal is to integrate these parts, working towards a whole self.

I am a believer in radical acceptance. Existentialist and Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl said, "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." I am here to validate, support, and challenge you. In person, virtual, and Ecotherapy Walk-and-Talk are available. Reach out to start your therapeutic journey today.
