I believe we are all born inclined towards love and growth but then life happens. We adapt to survive, but sometimes we find that we've lost ourselves in the process. Over time that way of surviving can lead to any number of undesired outcomes: anxiety, depression, self-loathing, relationship instability, addiction, feeling stuck, feeling a lack of joy. You are strong - you have survived - and I would like to help you heal these wounds and get you back to (or create for the first time) the life that you deserve.
In my years of training and experience, I've focused on trauma, substance use disorders, grief, depression and anxiety. I am trained in EMDR and the Flash Technique. Additional modalities I work with include Motivational Interviewing and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Additionally, I view things from a trauma-informed, systemic, culturally competent, anti-racist and LGBTQIA+ affirming lens. I am interested in helping you validate what might be a reasonable reaction to an unreasonable system.

Depending on what you're seeking, we might dive into trauma processing via EMDR or the Flash Technique to make memories less dangerous and make room for growth, we might dive into addiction work and relapse prevention, or we might focus on processing grief and finding ways to remain connected to what you've lost while discarding the sense of "stuckness" that can accompany grief.

EMDR is an evidence-based neurological intervention that can heal wounds in a way that talk therapy alone can't do. I am also trained in the Flash Technique, an evidence-based intervention that only requires minimal time sitting with the traumatic memory. Both of these techniques can produce lasting change; making memories less dangerous and creating more mental room for positive core beliefs.
