I will always take an IPNB, attachment-oriented, trauma-informed, and integrative approach, primarily using internal family systems (IFS), EMDR, and sand tray therapy in our work together.
I am a bicultural licensed professional counselor, registered play therapist, perinatal, and infant mental health specialist, and certified IFS therapist/Approved Clinical Consultant working with individuals across the lifespan. I have found a deep love of holding space for individuals walking through the sacred seasons around grief and loss, healing from trauma, and the journey of parenting. I love to work with those who are longing for holistic healing and ready to engage body, mind, and spirit.

I love to work with those who are longing for holistic healing and ready to engage body, mind, and spirit.
I am passionate about helping people work through major life transitions, which can so often be accompanied by complicated feelings, including grief and pain. As we move along each of our journeys, some moments need more time to process and be witnessed. Becoming a parent, losing a loved one, moving, loss/change of a job. I want to help honor these changes by holding space with patience and a compassionate understanding.

Some approaches that I have found transformative include somatic experience, EMDR, IFS and targeting attachment wounds through relational skill building.
Unresolved trauma is often at the root of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. It can dysregulate our nervous systems and keep us stuck in 'survival mode.' The same coping strategies that once protected us are now disrupting our relationships and everyday lives. The good news is that our minds and bodies want to heal. We just need to learn how to access the deeper parts and integrate them in a more adaptive way so that the past isn't always in the driver's seat. It is said “what you resist, persists”. I believe the practice of coming to know ourselves fully can be very powerful when we learn to trust our needs and intuitions.

Some days we may focus on processing trauma through EMDR or IFS, while other days we may slow down and work with the nervous system through somatics or attachment needs.
Whether you're healing from trauma, depression, anxiety, navigating ADHD, pregnancy, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, we will work together to shift old patterns and build resillence. We will integrate movement, somatic awareness, and walk-and-talk therapy because healing doesn't always happen sitting still. If you're curious, committed to growth, and enjoy thinking outside the box, we'll probably work well together.

I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and often use other therapeutic modalities that incorporate positive skill building, like Mindfulness and CBT.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, sad, alone, lost, irritable, emotionally "stuck" or just plain exhausted? Perhaps you have recent or past trauma and have painful memories that seem to have a hold on you, and prevent you from being able to be fully present in your life. Maybe you are struggling with developing or maintaining healthy relationships, or are feeling like your life is unraveling, unfulfilling or unbalanced, with little to no time to take care of yourself. If you are experiencing any of the above, or are seeking self-growth, self-understanding, healing, or positive change, please reach out to me today.

By integrating evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, DBT, and CBT, I offer support to a wide-range of needs including PTSD, attachment-based, and behavioral concerns.
Healing often begins quietly, with the simple hope that life can feel different. If the weight of past experiences has made the world feel overwhelming, painful, or even numb, I want you to know that you do not have to face it alone; I want you to know you are worthy of a space where you are met with compassion and non-judgement. As an LPCC, I am passionate about helping individuals to understand, connect with, and nurture their nervous systems, ultimately supporting them to heal from past wounds, break patterns that no longer serve them, and engage with the world with curiosity, resilience, and clarity.

Trauma leaves us disconnected from our authentic selves. You probably feel the pressure to be perfect all the time while making sure everyone else around you feels comfortable and happy and supported by you. You may be wrestling with the lasting effects of purity culture and how that has impacted your self-esteem, body image, how you relate to others, and your comfort with intimacy. You want to feel less anxious, but you are finding it difficult to feel secure in your relationships due to past experiences. But one thing is for sure: you're ready to finally feel at home with yourself.

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.
