I use EMDR to work through trauma with clients while also using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Narrative Therapy to help clients explore their emotional experiences and reshape the stories they tell about themselves.
Reaching out for support can be a very challenging task but it is also the first step to get you closer to living your preferred life. In therapy, we will work together to clarify your life's vision, explore what is getting in the way of you reaching your goals, identify what skills and strengths you have to overcome these barriers, while also learning new skills and ways of thinking. During this process, I am committed to creating a respectful space where you will feel heard, acknowledged, supported and understood. I work with clients of all ages, backgrounds and identities and strive to create a safe and inclusive space for all.

I specialize in supporting people struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, and trauma/ PTSD.
Do you feel you could be the poster child for high-functioning anxiety? You’re always in go-go-go mode and struggle to slow down or relax. And maybe you even find yourself getting sick every time you finally take vacation or allow yourself to slow down. Chances are you’ve been stuck in chronic fight or flight mode for a while now. You may have even had health professionals tell you this, but you just don’t know how to get out of it. And you’ve probably noticed your stress and anxiety showing up as not-so-fun physical symptoms (sleep or digestive issues anyone?). Anxiety affects our thoughts, but it wreaks havoc on our body too!

Yes, we will work on processing your trauma - and we will also move forward.
You're a woman between 39-50ish and something just feels OFF. It's definitely physical: the hot flashes, waking up in the night, can't remember anything, the weight gain, but it's also emotional: the mood swings, irritability, the burnout, the lack of motivation, the sense of just not feeling like yourself. You wonder if you're just "getting old", or maybe your hormones are out of whack? You are doing ALL the right things. You exercise, you eat clean, you have good relationships, a career, and just when you're starting to feel like you've got it figured out, the rollercoaster of emotions hits you. It's so incredibly frustrating

I meet you wherever it is you’re at, whether you’re seeking help for yourself or for your child.

Sometimes, life experiences have a significant impact on our ability to embrace the present moment. As a result, we engage with our current circumstances trying to defend and protect ourselves from past wounds. Yet, we long for more. More acceptance, more motivation, more healing. Maybe you've realized, "this is not working. Something needs to change and I need to figure it out." You have reached the point when you're no longer satisfied with wondering how things will work out. You want to see tangible change happen.

My purpose as a therapist is to support you in moving through the places where you feel stuck, whether that means releasing old traumas, fears, anxiety, or working through emotional triggers and patterns like people-pleasing.
I am trained in EMDR therapy, a powerful approach that helps your brain reprocess and release what’s been keeping you stuck. EMDR can bring relief from past traumas, anxiety, and triggers more quickly than talk therapy alone, helping you feel calmer, more in control, and at peace.
