I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter.

I often use EMDR & Internal Family Systems in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then choose the most appropriate way to help you succeed. With EMDR, we'll look at how trauma affects your emotions and experience, then clear the trauma. In IFS, we'll identify & unburden parts of self that impact your overall sense of wellbeing in relationships.
