My approach is playful, creative, + evidence based as I have specialized training in play therapy, CBT, EMDR, ERP, & animal assisted play therapy.
As a Registered Play Therapist, I help kids + parents make sense of big emotions and difficult experiences through the language kids know best: play. Whether your child is struggling with anxiety, trauma, stress, OCD, self-esteem issues, or big feelings + big behaviors, I offer a safe and nurturing environment where healing can begin, and where they can build tools for lifelong emotional regulation. I believe that kids deserve therapy that is as effective as therapy is for adults. In play therapy, kids feel empowered to explore their feelings, behaviors, & challenges in ways that are naturally engaging + developmentally appropriate!

I rely heavily on Person-Centered Approaches, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems, and other therapy models.
I’m here to support you through whatever challenges you may be facing. I work with teens and adults to address anxiety, stress management, grief, and trauma. Many of my clients identify as people pleasers and/or high achievers and feel like like they are burning the candle at both ends, trying to meet everyone's needs but their own. Together, we will identify what patterns are no longer serving you while also adding your needs back on your priority list in a way that feels authentic and secure.

Welcome, I'm so excited you're exploring therapy! I know it can be a bit overwhelming to select a therapist, so let me give you a little snapshot into who I am. As a clinician, I have experience working with a wide variety of clients, primarily those facing anxiety disorders, ADHD, depression, self-esteem issues, people pleasing patterns, attachment challenges, and trauma-related disorders. I'm passionate about helping clients process past experiences, build a stronger sense of self, and create a new route to contentment and peace.

I'm passionate about helping clients process past experiences, build a stronger sense of self, and create a new route to contentment and peace.
I have also been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR), a treatment approach where clients safely reprocess traumatic information using bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tones, tapping).
Please note: morning & midday availability only .......... Change is not easy. Whether you're needing to experience relief from anxiety, depression, past trauma, or a current difficult situation, counseling can help bring us out of stagnation and onto the path of change in a compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere. I enjoy helping people identify what thoughts and behaviors are helpful in building satisfying lives and which may have once proved useful, but no longer work for them. Taking small steps, while being kind to ourselves when we make mistakes, can create the kind of change that we want to see in our lives.

The most valuable and essential piece in therapy is the connection between the therapist and the client. Without rapport and safety, no meaningful step can be taken towards recovery. In my practice, through loving kindness and empathy, I make it my priority to build a meaningful connection with clients.

As a trauma therapist, I offer powerful modalities like EMDR, somatic therapy, and ketamine-assisted therapy.
I’m a highly trained somatic therapist specializing in trauma and anxiety disorders. Many of the people who come to see me have always felt a little different, deeply thoughtful, sensitive, and aware, but also frustrated that traditional approaches to healing haven’t fully helped. You may understand your problems intellectually, yet still feel the stress, tension, or anxiety living in your body. Somatic therapy works differently. Instead of only talking about problems, we work directly with the nervous system and the body’s natural capacity to heal.

I offer neurodiversity-affirming trauma therapy (IFS-informed EMDR, Brainspotting) that is relational and integrative.
Do you feel stuck, misunderstood, overwhelmed, or out of sync? Do you struggle with intrusive thoughts or impulses? Maybe you struggle with managing emotions, navigating life transitions, or building trusting relationships. Past trauma and neurodivergence can show up in many ways and make it harder to find relational safety or create a life that honors your needs. I help neurodivergent individuals (kids, teens, & adults), trauma survivors, and neurodiverse couples to understand themselves and heal. Together we can seek healing that feels safe and authentic and to create a life that honor your unique strengths and needs.

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.
