My hopes are to tailor a therapy experience that is impactful and beneficial to you, using a mix of talk therapy, art and music, mindfulness, and somatic movement (i.e., EMDR).
Hello! I approach this work from person-centered, trauma-informed, mind-body/neuroscience perspective honoring your lived experience and the knowledge you have acquired along your life to help create a collaborative therapeutic relationship. I primarily work with individuals & couples who are experiencing distress in their life, with a focus around trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression.

I’m trained in EMDR therapy, which helps process trauma and experiences that feel “stuck
You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, or unsure how to navigate a major life transition. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma that still lingers in your body or shows up in patterns you can’t quite shake. Or perhaps you want a safe space to talk through what you’re carrying. My clients often want to feel more grounded in their emotions, build confidence, and develop healthier ways of coping. Above all, they’re looking for support that feels safe, human, and effective. I specialize in working with teenagers, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, and trauma.

I offer play-based therapy, EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and work with families on increasing regulation/co-regulation.
Families are a child's first and most important teacher. Sometimes it's hard to feel that role is being fulfilled when your child is struggling and you feel that you struggle to help them. I love working with children and their families to help both the individual child and to strengthen the communication and bonds between the family. I enjoy working with children and families who come in with open hearts and who seek to learn and grow both from and with each other.

I am a nationally recognized grief scholar, educator, and Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist who integrates trauma-informed, evidence-based care, including EMDR, CBT, FSS, somatic practices, and Meaning-Centered Therapy, etc
My clients are adults experiencing grief or trauma related to death, relationship loss, illness, pet loss, job change, divorce, life transitions, or identity disruption. They often feel angry, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who they are now—and may not even realize that what they are experiencing is grief. Mostly, they are simply tired of carrying and processing alone. Together, we work in a compassionate space where we can speak openly, feel deeply, and begin making sense of what has happened. Through this work, we restore emotional steadiness and reconnect with meaning, even though life may look different than before.

I have specialized training in couples therapy, family systems theory and trauma work, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR) therapy.
You may be here because your relationship feels distant, life feels overwhelming, or you're stuck in painful relationship patterns. Maybe past trauma keeps resurfacing, or conflict leaves you feeling disconnected from loved ones. You want deeper connection, healing, and peace—but that’s hard to reach alone. Whether in your marriage, family, or personal life, you don’t have to do this by yourself. Or, you may find yourself painfully reliving your past, no matter how hard you try to press on. It is possible to find a new way of living with more freedom and connection; but, this can be hard without help along the way.

I've always desired to understand feelings, behaviour, and the human mind; I've always been driven toward solving the questions that start with why. My passion for therapy began after realizing I was helping many clients with similar concerns related to identity confusion, limited self-awareness, and low self-confidence. Life can be pretty complex and sometimes presents us with challenges that require support in order to achieve balance and overall wellness.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
