Hello. I’m a trauma informed attachment therapist certified in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing). I believe in our ability to heal and grow. I love to see individual and families to heal, grow and thrive because occasionally being human is difficult. I would be honored if invited to be a part of your journey as you explore issues around yourself, on parenting, or relationship challenges. If you experience self-doubt, depression, anxiety, due to trauma, grief and losses, I’m here for you. If you have been considering bringing some positive changes to your life, reach out to me and let's journey together.
As each of us is unique, I adapt my interventions to the particular needs of each individual. As I continue to learn, I use an integrative approach based on multiple evidenced based models and am passionate about healing the wounds of trauma and losses and the impact on attachment, development and interpersonal relationship.
I often integrate EMDR, Internal Family System, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), as well as play and art therapy, narratives, to assist processing and overcoming the negative effects of the past traumatic experiences and move towards healing. Please reach out and let me be there for your journey in life towards healing.
