Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in emotional pain? Struggling with intrusive thoughts or difficult memories that make it hard to live fully? These experiences can feel heavy—but you don’t have to face them alone. I’m currently welcoming clients for EMDR Intensives—extended sessions that last 3 to 5 hours per day, typically over the course of several days. This focused, uninterrupted format allows for deeper therapeutic work in a shorter amount of time. Intensives can be especially effective in reducing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, negative beliefs, and somatic complaints, helping you feel more grounded and empowered.
I often weave in my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Trauma-Sensitive Yoga, and Mindful Self-Compassion to support emotional healing. These approaches strengthen the mind–body connection, foster self-awareness, and offer compassionate, creative ways to explore emotions, ease distress, and build lasting resilience.
I’m passionate about empowering clients to build the insight, tools, and resilience needed for meaningful and lasting change. If you’re looking for focused support and a more immersive healing experience, I invite you to reach out and explore whether an EMDR Intensive might be a good fit for you.

I often use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) combined with IFS (Internal Family Systems), along with other creative modalities. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and work together to decide the best way to help you meet your therapy goals. During treatment, I'll help you access the wounded parts of yourself so that you can truly heal from the pain.
