As an EMDR Certified clinician, consultant, and facilitator, I am dedicated to supporting individuals in overcoming trauma, grief, and addiction through evidence-based therapeutic practices. My expertise in EMDR allows me to guide clients through profound emotional and psychological recovery, providing a safe and compassionate space for them to address the root causes of their struggles. While I have had the privilege of serving as the Clinical Director at two local Intensive Outpatient Programs, my true passion lies in working directly with clients to facilitate meaningful transformation.

My clients are looking to achieve balance, calm and a desirable life that feels intentional. They have had recent or past trauma, ongoing and seemingly unresolvable feelings of depression and anxiety. Many of my clients are parents, particularly moms (see The Calm Mama program on my website!), who I help find balance and calm amongst the busy day to day and despite their past experiences and current social and cultural pressures. In my coaching practice, I use EMDR to support young athletes achieve their performance goals while maintaining balance with their personal lives.

I work with teens and adults that think they're not enough. We are all enough. I am a creative, imaginative, intelligent, active, fun, neurodivergent who is a neurodivergent affirming therapist.

Often people reach out for therapy at a time in their lives when they are in transition and ready to make changes that will better themselves. Patterns of negative thinking and self-sabotaging behaviors can make you feel stuck and often can get in the way of living your best possible life. My goal is to help you understand the root of your anxiety, depression, substance abuse, self-image issues and/or trauma and to work through these problems so that you can become 'unstuck' and move forward in a more positive, self-freeing and fulfilling direction.
