I help people recover from recent traumas, work stress, health anxiety, panic attacks, driving anxiety, phobias, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, social anxiety, and OCD. I'm an EMDR Specialist. Although I love EMDR, not everyone needs it. I also offer regular talk therapy. I am practical and outcome oriented. I support short term therapy and often suggest committing to 4-6 months of therapy for targeted goals such as processing specific traumas or decreasing certain anxiety triggers. Some clients do several episodes of short term therapy with me. I respect the need for efficiency due to the expense and time commitment of therapy.
I offer EMDR expertise, years of experience, compassion, and a collaborative approach focused on solving problems. I can help you improve your mental health, increase wellness, establish healthy routines, upgrade your communication, and manage emotions. Together we will increase your self compassion and help institute positive changes in your daily life.
I emphasize your learning and helping your neurology update with the goal of making progress and "graduating" from therapy as soon as possible. There are no guarantees about therapy length and outcome, but my approaches and expertise lead to effective and efficient therapy. I am energized by seeing my clients make progress, even when I'm sad to say goodbye!

I use EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness in my practice. EMDR reduces distress associated with upsetting events including criticism, disappointment, bullying, accidents, failures, assault, and abuse. CBT investigates the relationship between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and targets dysfunctional thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness supports being present and insight.
