Over the years I have tried many different treatment modalities, but I have found that EMDR therapy is the most effective and will get you feeling better faster than talk therapy alone.
Are you ready to heal from past wounds? Want to feel better about yourself with friends or in dating? Feel more confident at work? At school? In your parenting? You've hit a point in your life where you are tired of feeling the same way- stressed, anxious, disappointed- and are ready to focus on healing you. If you are ready to heal, I’d be honored to talk with you and see if we can work together. I'm invested in helping you feel more confident, happy and at peace.

I also provide EMDR, which helps people overcome traumatic experiences by reprocessing traumatic events.
Each of us has had an experience that leads us to question ourselves: Who we are? What we are doing? What are our life goals? In therapy, we can explore certain challenges of life that may cause anxiety, depression, stress, or any other difficult feeling. "Like the lotus flower that is born out of mud, we must honor the darkest parts of ourselves and the most painful of our life's experiences, because they are what allow us to birth our most beautiful self" -Debbie Ford

I believe each individual is the expert of their own experiences and therefore, I take on a collaborative and individualized approach in therapy together. In doing so, I like to utilize various approaches and modalities depending on each individual and their personalized treatment goals. I tend to gravitate towards elements of person-centered, psychodynamic, CBT, ERP, and strength-based therapy. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR to support clients in addressing trauma and stress-related issues. With empathy, authenticity, and humor, I strive to empower my clients towards their goals.

EMDR Therapists
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.
