Scientific research has established EMDR as effective for post-traumatic stress, anxiety, complicated grief, dissociative disorders, disturbing memories, phobias, performance anxiety, stress reduction, addictions, abuse, and more.
You have past trauma, current stress, anxiety, or depression that is getting in your way. It could be impacting your relationships, career, or health. You may feel alone, or notice yourself wanting to isolate from the people you care about. You've noticed that you are guarded, and that it's really just time for a change.

Hello! I typically work with clients struggling with stress, women's issues and/or anxiety- or clients who are wanting to get extra support with daily or work-related stress. I use a highly effective approach called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and when appropriate, holistic approaches such as mindfulness, meditation, etc. I put a lot of emphasis on self-care, which is what I wrote my dissertation on and give workshops on.

I help artists, creatives, and entrepeneurs with stress, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and ADHD-related difficulties. Sometimes it can feel as if we have a tangled knot of thoughts and feelings trapped inside our minds. I see the purpose of therapy as taking that tangled knot, smoothing it out, and holding it up to the light to gain clarity and peace.

I am a Certified EMDR practitioner and Approved Consultant and I have found EMDR effective for development trauma, post-traumatic stress and other conditions such as anxiety, phobias, and stress and panic attacks.
I am interested in treating people whose potential is hindered by negative concepts of themselves imprinted in childhood (through traumatic experiences or neglect of basic emotional needs) and who frequently suffer from symptoms like chronic depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I am committed to helping these individuals attain a sense of self that brings them happiness and fulfillment. My basic perspective is that the human mind possesses the capacity to heal itself, if guided in the right way. I have explored various methods and approaches to helping the mind restore its basic wholeness.

These are such intense and overwhelming times. We are all grieving. Before 2020 maybe you had some anxiety or a history of trauma but overall you were functioning and feeling OK without ongoing therapy. Or despite all you do to take care of yourself, you were experiencing quite a bit of anxiety and stress, struggling with feelings of shame, anger or self-hatred for a very long time. Since 2020 your nervous system is on overload and everything feels overwhelming, exhausting, scary. The existential pain you’ve struggled with is back and real and being felt by you and people all over the world.

Stressed, stretched, or scattered doesn’t have to be your normal. The people I work with usually have spent months thinking about doing therapy before taking action. Some hesitate thinking, “I’m just being lazy, I need to be more disciplined, more organized, and stop procrastinating. I just need to try harder.” Others think, “I’m worrying over nothing, it’s silly, I just need to ignore the worry. It’s not that hard.” But it’s not working, hasn’t worked, and it’s fueling the “just try harder loop.” You still feel stressed, stretched, or scattered. If you’ve tried trying hard and trying harder, maybe it’s time to try something else.

I specialize in working with adults coping with anxiety, stress, loss and large life changes.
Often times we get stuck in patterns related to our thoughts or behaviors that get in the way of us getting to where we want to go. These patterns can worsen symptoms of anxiety, depression and at times, interfere with our relationships and overarching goals. Through a collaborative approach, I aim at helping you explore your own motivation to take meaningful steps in creating the life you want to live by examining these patterns.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, work stress, perfectionism, life transition, relational issues, identity issues, and loss.
Are you feeling stuck? Sometimes, it can be confusing to even know why you feel this way or what's causing it, but you know that something just doesn't feel right anymore. Whether it's due to relationship issues, work stress, other life issues, or a combination of any/all of those, therapy can help provide relief and get you back to who you were/would like to be. This can mean looking to your past to help explain the present or identifying outdated roles and narratives that you are living by, which no longer serve you.

I have experience with: anxiety, feeling stuck, trauma, breakups, depression, relationship conflict, and stress.
Anxiety doesn’t have to be permanent problem, even if you’ve always thought of yourself as an anxious person. Anxiety is learned and it can be un-learned. I’d like to help you retrain your brain to be a source of comfort and positivity. With less anxiety, you can direct your energy towards things you really value instead of worrying all the time. There is no more valuable project than your well-being, and it’s well worth the effort. I use research-backed therapy and provide my clients with actionable tools, techniques, and skills to help them make progress.

I help high achieving, highly anxious individuals that are struggling with burnout, work and academic stress, and perfectionism. This may be due to the impact of developmental trauma, childhood overt or covert bullying, or family upbringing. If you are exhausted from having it all together constantly and feel like you are losing touch with your authentic self, therapy is a great place to start in order to shift away from patterns that are no longer working for you. I can guide you as you challenge yourself and grow in ways you thought were not possible and make it less scary by not having to do it alone.

I have experience working with people impacted by trauma, autistic and LGBTQIA+ people experiencing minority stress, and advocates engaged in long term anti-racism & systemic change efforts.
You may come here looking because there are parts of yourself you feel like you must hide. You may feel like there are conflicts with who you are, and how you currently present in the world. You may be coming to a deeper understanding of your gender or sexual identity. It can be hard to know how to talk to your family and friends. This can be a scary time filled with a lot of fear, curiosity, uncertainty, and grief; all of which can complicate your relationship with your family and friends. Together we can explore ways to find a little more ease in the journey.
