You feel like you need to “keep it all together” or else everything will fall apart. Or maybe you believe it's necessary to hide parts of yourself to make others more comfortable. Perhaps you’re trying to make sense of why something that happened to you long ago still has such an impact on your life. You yearn for deeper connections with yourself and with others, and to understand what your emotions and urges are trying to do for you. Let’s explore these things together, with patience, compassion, curiosity, and grace.
My first priority is our relationship; trust and safety are imperative for healing. I have extensive experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), the roots of which are inner wisdom, validation, and synthesis. I'm also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Together, we will create a plan that can meet your needs.
You've walked through life feeling alone for long enough. There is no better time than now to find what a "life worth living" means for you. Take the first step - you deserve it. Click “Email Me” or go to my website to request a free, no-commitment 15-minute consultation.

I am an EMDR-trained therapist working towards certification. I've had training and several years of experience with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in both group and individual sessions. I find IFS (or "parts") language tremendously helpful in deepening insight and reducing judgment. Together, we will decide what treatment approach works best for you.
