We are currently accepting new clients at Pollema Counseling Center, and I’m so glad you’re here. I believe meaningful therapy is not just about insight, but also about reconnecting with yourself in a deeper way. This often includes a “returning home” to your body—learning to listen to it, feel safe in it, and use it as a source of grounding and healing. My approach blends cognitive therapy with somatic (body-based) work, creating space for both understanding and felt experience. I also offer therapy intensives that can be a great fit for clients who want to do deep trauma healing- feel free to ask about this on our call!
I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem and anxiety. My therapeutic background draws from Somatic Therapy, Psychodynamic, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches. I am trained in Brainspotting and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)- therapies designed to help your brain process trauma and alleviate PTSD symptoms.
Therapy has the potential to be life-changing, especially when you find a therapist who feels like the right fit for you. Our practice is currently accepting new clients, and I invite you to reach out set up a free consultation where I will ask a little bit more about your therapy goals and see if we are a good fit!

I use somatic-based therapy approaches such as EMDR, IFS, and Brainspotting. Many individuals who have experienced trauma often feel disconnected from their bodies. My goal is to help clients integrate their mind and body into their daily lives. Through this embodied approach, clients can learn to feel more grounded and connected to themselves and their communities.
