I see children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy who are struggling with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life cycle challenges, and trauma.

My approach integrates EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), ACT, and somatic therapies to support whole-system healing, but above all, my practice is about being fully present with you.
You feel everything…beauty and heartbreak, joy and grief. You’ve been told your sensitivity is “too much”, and you can’t help but to feel overwhelmed by the intensity of your inner world, especially with how intense the outer world can be.

You long to feel safe in your world and in your own skin. I support those who are looking to build genuine stability, resilience, and love within themselves, step by step, at your pace.

I provide Attachment Focused EMDR sessions in 2 hour blocks as well as 3 day Intensives where we dive deep into the patterns of behavior that keep you stuck and unfulfilled in relationships.
Have irritability and resentment hijacked your joy? Despite all you’ve achieved, you still feel unseen and unappreciated. Staying busy with work and activities helps you avoid uncomfortable emotions. Yet the relationships that matter most are complicated, leaving you disappointed, empty and lonely. Fear of rejection and failure keep you doubting your worth. Rest and asking for what you need feels selfish. So you push everything down to prevent the floodgates from opening. I help people lean into their emotions and safely express their feelings so they can trust themselves to show up in their relationships with more confidence.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
