I am EMDR certified, and ready to help you heal from/process your trauma.
I'm here to not only listen, but help you find a path forward. I enjoy working with couples, folks struggling with anger, and helping to navigate and heal from trauma. If you are an angry person yourself or you have an angry teen that needs someone to talk to, I'm ready to listen and help. For couple's therapy, I follow the Gottman theory rather closely. Issues I can help with are broad, but cover general intimacy, infidelity, communication struggles, and so on. In the past few years, I've started incorporating the Enneagram into my work as well and found it helpful both in couple's and individual therapy.

I work best with people who are committed to staying engaged in their lives. There are many internal and external roadblocks that get in the way of full engagement, and I believe that therapy can help when we are in that stuck place. I love to help people access their emotional truth through building self-awareness, allowing space for all of their feelings, and processing past traumas. I have found that individual mental health is inseparable from relational health and enjoy working with couples or individuals about relationship issues.

I am an EMDRIA-trained therapist and work with men and women ages 30+ who are high performers, perfectionists, overthinkers, and people-pleasers.
EMDR is useful for exploring how the past shows up in the present, and unraveling 'triggers' or trauma responses. Many sessions are interlaced with traditional talk therapy (CBT, ACT). What we do in therapy always depends on what you need from a session.

I work with adults who are deeply exhausted from holding themselves together—people who feel everything intensely and live with chronic anxiety, emotional overwhelm, OCD, trauma, or relationship struggles. Many have tried therapy before and left feeling unseen, mislabeled, or told they're "too much" or simply need better coping skills. My clients are often thoughtful, self-aware, and capable, yet stuck in patterns that keep repeating despite years of insight, especially in relationships, emotional regulation, identity, and self-worth.

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.
