I utilize many tools from neuroscience, attachment theory, mindfulness techniques, EFT, EMDR, somatic techniques, family systems and couple's developmental models to help facilitate this very powerful unfolding and healing process.
My work as a therapist for the past 24 years has been focused on helping people uncover what is most authentic, naturally resourceful and vividly alive in each person. The stresses and traumas of living one's life can deaden our connection with ourselves and with those we love. Emotional suffering, isolation, addiction and crisis can be powerful gateways to a deeper foundation of self-acceptance, compassion and inner freedom. Learning to utilize proven tools for recognizing and transmuting pain into the ever deepening and changing experience of your life and relationships are the foundation of our work together.

EMDR therapy is for you if you feel like you should be okay, but are not.
EMDR is an evidence based therapy that helps your brain and body process unresolved experiences at the root. As this happens, anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional intensity begin to ease so they feel less present in daily life. Clients often notice better sleep, less reactivity, and more steadiness and clarity.

My approach to therapy is based on EMDR, which allows for deeper healing than traditional talk therapy.
You want to appear like you have it “all together,” but deep down you struggle to feel confident in who you are or cope with pain of the past. You’re someone who is described as strong and resilient because you’ve survived so much, but still find yourself spiraling with worry, feeling stuck, & struggling to relate to others. You want to understand why this is happening and why you are responding the way you do. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to breathe a little easier. You’re ready to smile again and feel more free. Most of all, you're ready to find freedom from your painful past. I want to help you get there.

Whether it’s utilizing EMDR or an integrative mix of modalities, the possibility of lasting change is real.
We know from experience how hard it can be to put the pieces back together after trauma. It can feel difficult to find our way after feeling lost for so long. Whether it's something overwhelming and fast, or too little for too long, these past events can continue to affect our present life, keeping us stuck in patterns of pain and disconnection. We become burdened by negative beliefs and often long for a more balanced viewpoint. Unresolved trauma can leave lasting marks on our wellbeing. Fortunately, there is a path to healing and wholeness.

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.
