“We.” A word you’ll hear me use often in sessions, because therapy is a collaborative process. We explore the difficult parts together, sit with uncomfortable emotions, and make sense of patterns - at a pace that's comfortable for you. Meaningful therapy is hard work, but it’s work you don’t have to do alone.
I specialize in trauma and anxiety, and I integrate EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic-based approaches to help clients process past experiences and feel more grounded in their bodies. I also place a strong emphasis on building coping skills you can actually use in your day-to-day life, not just talk about in session.

I would be unable to pen the right words to satisfy the reservations you may have about seeking therapy when you need it. Only you can do that. There are no magic words that make problems go away, and there certainly aren’t numinous websites or YouTube videos that will do the work for you. Therapy is something very personal and wholly unique to you. It is a journey that can often be deeply fulfilling, yet like anything worth doing in life, it can also be challenging.

You may look high-functioning on the outside, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from yourself. You may have already done talk therapy and gained insight, but still notice stress, anxiety, or old patterns that have not fully shifted. If you are seeking gentle, trauma-informed support that goes deeper, you are not alone. I help clients move forward by supporting emotional regulation, inner safety, and a deeper connection to their authentic self.

Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Therapists
How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviors. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.
What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualization or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.
How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.
Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
