My clients come to me for a wide range of symptoms, but what they have in common is deep-seated feelings and thoughts of emptiness, loneliness, being unworthy or less-than, having to be perfect or ensure everyone else's comfort, being ignored, or being unloved and unlovable. They feel dead or numb inside, or experience big emotions such as fear and anger that seem out of proportion to what's going on. They want to feel loved, connected with others, optimistic and peaceful inside. They want to be able to feel their emotions without being overwhelmed by them. and maintain authentic and mutually fulfilling relationships.
I help people heal early attachment wounds, which has a profound effect on how they think, feel and behave in the present. And I keep it tolerable. In my practice, there is no going over and over a traumatic memory. I use a lot of visualization and inner-child work, which may sound a little touchy-feely, but the effects are profound, permanent and global.
Sometimes the hardest part of therapy is picking up the phone. My job is to put you at ease, creating a space where you feel seen, heard and valued no matter what. The only way you can do it "wrong" is not to try. I do this work because I know it helps and there is nothing I love more than seeing my clients gain confidence, joy and focus on what's important.

I primarily work through a lens of attachment and attachment trauma, which I find are at the root of most of my clients' symptoms. We will do some talk therapy, and specifically for trauma processing I use visualizations, somatic work and EMDR. You'll never have to tell me the details of what happened to you if you don't want to. Most clients come to me for a few months or longer as needed.
