As a therapist, I prioritize building a genuine therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and compassion. Our bodies hold trauma and stress accumulated over our lifetimes. My practice integrates EMDR, mind-body modalities, and talk therapy to help clients cope with current stress and heal from trauma. Our life experiences also lead us to develop unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. I empower my clients to recognize and adapt their unhelpful thoughts patterns, giving them the tools to thrive.

My mission as a therapist is to serve my clients in whatever fashion they may need. My approach is to have us collaborate in a way to not only help you FEEL better, but to actually BE better. Lets work towards being your ideal self. I pull from many psychotherapy orientations in an integrative way and am always striving to learn more. I incorporate knowledge from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychoanalysis, Client-focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, and more. In addition, I incorporate knowledge acquired from over a decade of studying psychology. This background includes supervising other therapists.

We all inevitably encounter life stressors and challenges that leave us feeling stuck, anxious, ashamed or depressed. The process of therapy allows us to slow down, explore our difficult feelings and gain awareness into how we may or may not be serving ourselves. It is a process that facilities growth and empowerment, as well as a space where we can celebrate and honor the wonderful things in our lives.

If you're experiencing stress, anxiety, sadness, or anger, you don't have to face it alone. Ready for change? Let's talk. As a psychotherapist specializing in trauma with EMDR therapy, my ideal client faces complex trauma, possibly from childhood or recent events. They aim to manage symptoms and deeply understand and process their experiences. Their goal is healing and empowerment, moving from coping to thriving. Motivated by personal growth and a better life, they see addressing trauma as crucial for unlocking potential and achieving lasting change.

I work with a variety of people whose active, creative lives have been interrupted by depression, mania, anxiety, mourning, and trauma. Psychotherapy with me is a process of guided expression. Thoughts and feelings, dreams and fantasies, desires and fears are given voice – loud, clear, and without judgment. The experience of formulating authentic verbal and emotional expressions can be transformative in and of itself. Also, as patterns in your way of being become clear, you can begin to consider alternatives, find courage to change, and experience what is commonly known as freedom.
