The foundation of any good therapy is trust. We open up with people who earn the right to hear our story; as we build trust together we can begin to explore, identify, and tolerate emotions in healthier ways. Our emotions are data- guiding us to truth, relief and self-trust. When we manage our emotions, we can learn how to communicate in healthier ways and experience more rewarding relationships in life. Therapy is an excavation, a cathartic oxygenation of buried experience.

My style is trauma-informed & emotion-focused. It is warm, humorous, nurturing– but direct–which helps my clients feel the safety & comfort necessary to look within themselves with honesty and without judgement. When we start to see patterns and themes thread throughout one’s story that are holding us back, we can make changes using the power of EMDR.

My intention is to create a safe place for you to be willing to go through the pain we will uncover, trusting that healing is waiting for you on the other side. I believe in the work I do. I believe change is possible because I have seen it and I have lived it. It is an honor to witness another’s growth and movement forward towards healing.

I use an emotion focus approach throughout therapy, using our anxiety as the tool it is intended to be, not as symptoms we need to rid ourselves of and manage. EMDR is used to treat traumatic patterns within an individual's story.
