Stuck in therapy? Maybe the problem isn’t you, it’s therapy that doesn’t heal your nervous system or address your needs. I offer an eclectic trauma and identity approach that bridges several modalities: EMDR, DBT, ACT, and IFS. My technique helps get to the root of trauma and improve nervous system regulation as well as heal the inner child. My clients have given me positive reviews that my techniques helped change their outlook. You can experience this same healing. I offer an open, shame-free approach guided by my years of doing standup comedy and improv. You will enjoy therapy while also healing.
I use tools like EMDR, IFS, DBT, and more. I help clients connect with their core self. Clients can expect to see improvements in things like CPTSD, anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, and grief. I use a multicultural-informed approach.
I am building a new practice, so I have plenty of space for new clients. I am usually busy during the day, so texts and emails work better than phone calls.
