My website
Everyone needs support in sorting through their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors at various points in their lives. It takes effort to understand how our formative years and our present circumstances have shaped our view of ourselves as well as our view of others and the world at large. I hope to provide an empathic space where you can explore your inner world, and in doing so discover new insights that will help you be kinder to yourself in the midst of life’s difficulties. In couple & family therapy, I will help you to identify which patterns are causing disconnection and then help you form a secure attachment to your loved ones.
I use internal family systems and EMDR for individual therapy. Our unhelpful reactions and general stuck places in life are often influenced by how we learned to think of ourselves during really difficult moments. EMDR can help those memories be reprocessed in a way that leads to more freedom and adaptive beliefs about yourself.
Struggling with mental health can feel isolating at times but I hope to help you feel you are not alone in your journey towards greater healing and wholeness. I provide a warm, empathetic space as we explore and bring healing to your relationship with yourself and to others.

I will bill your insurance directly after our session and then it usually takes 2-3 weeks for them to pay their portion. Once they pay, I charge you any co-payment or amount that will go towards your annual deductible. I can check your insurance benefits before we begin meeting together if needed.

I work with clients who may be struggling with mental health issues related to their relationships, and past traumas. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you find relief. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter."

I primarily used EMDR and Emotion Focused Therapy with some integration of internal family system therapy. If you are wanting a more skills based approach I can use DBT as well. For relationship issues (e.g. with couples and families) I use Emotion Focused Therapy. At the beginning of therapy we will discuss which modality might be the most helpful for you!
