You want your life to be different. You’d love to be able to relax and just be present, but this restlessness inside your mind and body won’t allow you. You’ve attempted to “let it go” or “forgive and forget” the past. You’ve tried LOTS of coping mechanisms: journaling, deep breathing, prayer, meditation, self-help books, talk therapy. You know yourself well, and you know how to cope. But you don’t just want to cope through life or talk about what happened; you want to experience change!
As an EMDR-trained therapist, I specialize in therapy for women who are seeking deeper healing beyond conventional talk therapy. My aim is to create a space where you feel seen and supported. Through the lens of curiosity and compassion, we will identify and resolve the core issues that keep you feeling stuck so you can thrive in life - not just survive.
Wondering how working together might be different than your previous therapy? Have questions before you feel comfortable moving forward? I am happy to offer a free 15-minute phone consultation to answer your questions. If I can’t help you, I will let you know and refer you to someone who I trust can. I look forward to connecting with you!

For those with insurance, if you want to know exactly what you'll be paying, I would recommend first calling your insurance company to see a) If you have a deductible, and b) What your copay/co-insurance amount will be. They will be able to tell you quickest. I currently do not accept Medicaid.

My passion is working with women struggling with anxiety and trauma. When we first meet we will explore what has led you to seek therapy, and then vision cast for the changes you are wanting to see through out our work together. And if you're unsure of what you want, that's ok! We can explore that together!

I approach therapy from the relational-focused EMDR lens, where the past informs the present, and we heal through connection. We recognize how you've adapted from the past, and how you want to grow in the future. EMDR is a therapy of change. So how do you want your life to be different?
