Welcome! I am accepting patients on a limited basis.

Couples learn to change the cycle of interaction so they feel more emotionally connected and secure. I provide compassionate, focused, trauma informed and attachment based emotionally focused therapy to regulate and heal your hurt and create secure attachments- with yourself and others.

Welcome! In this very moment you're choosing to be on your journey. My therapeutic philosophy is to facilitate and support your body's innate healing response through the applications of EMDR, (EMDRIA.ORG) and heart-centered therapies. EMDR in particular works to liberate clients from past trauma memories whether that be small "t" trauma or big 'T" trauma and to transform a person's subconscious beliefs thus "turning down the volume" on negative memories/negative beliefs and transforming those subconscious beliefs back into positive core beliefs so that you may become your highest aspect of yourself.

Bringing both passion and compassion to my work, I rely on my training in grounded and dynamic approaches to therapy. Whether working with couples or individuals, I draw on my strong intuitive sense and an innate belief in my clients’ ability to heal, change and grow. My training includes many approaches that support individuals and couples using attachment-based, body-oriented, brain-informed approaches to transforming old patterns.
