Healing often involves working with both the major events and the quieter experiences our brain never fully processed. Each can leave lasting imprints that shape how we think, feel, and respond. Through EMDR therapy, we support your brain’s natural ability to reprocess and rewire these memories, helping reduce their emotional intensity and create space for calm, clarity, and self-compassion. EMDR isn’t about erasing the past, it’s about changing how your brain relates to it, so you can move forward feeling lighter, more balanced, and grounded in who you are.

A good therapy experience can be transformative: it has the power to change one’s patterns of relating, help mend psychic wounds, and discover new ways of being. Transformation like this does not take place overnight. It takes patience and it only happens in the presence of a strong therapeutic relationship. From the very start, one of my main goals is to build that relationship by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space in which you can express thoughts, feelings, dreams, and desires that you may feel unable to share elsewhere. We'll collaborate to gain insight into the roots of your struggles, only then can we find our path forward.

The journey that leads someone to counseling is rarely simple. You may have been pouring yourself into others for so long that your own needs feel distant. Or maybe you’ve been navigating storms for so long that peace has become a distant memory. Have life’s challenges left you in survival mode, unsure of the last time you felt calm or steady? Whatever has guided you to this moment, your choice to enter this space is profoundly courageous. Together, we’ll explore your inner landscape—your emotions, your history, your relationships—and find the pathways that help you feel more connected and at ease.

If you are interested in deepening and expanding your awareness and understanding of yourself, as a means of finding a more confident pathway to your most authentic life, you're in the right place. I have a special interest and knack for working high achieving, over-performing, people pleasers (who are secretly exhausted by it all). My approach will be tailored just for you, utilizing a blend of holistic, integrative, trauma-informed approaches including Internal Family Systems (or "parts work"), and Somatic Experiencing. You are more than your brain, and you are unique; our work will be, too.

Sometimes, even when we know that something is wrong, we still need guidance in order to disentangle the problems that cause us suffering. Every problem has a solution and every difficult period can have a peaceful resolution. My therapeutic approach primarily stems from Family Systems Theory. I focus on emotional independence through individuation and help individuals, couples and families gain additional growth, strengths, and insights into their lives. I work on reducing negative communication patterns and installing love as an attachment bond.

Question: What if the stories you've been telling yourself, particularly those of the self-defeating variety, simply aren't true? I'd be more than happy to offer a few personal examples, but, by the mere fact that you're reading this, my guess is there's a pretty good chance you already have at least one doozy of your own. Anyway, if this just so happens to resonate, I would encourage you to visit my website for more information about my approach to psychotherapy and to consider if we might indeed be "a good fit." You can do so via the "My website" button located elsewhere on this page.

Therapy should be a place where you feel safe to divulge your darkest secrets while knowing that the person that you confide in, will not only support your journey of self-improvement and healing but help guide you like a beacon in the sea or a flashlight when it’s dark. And because of this, we think that finding the RIGHT therapist is one of the most crucial parts of the therapeutic process... I work to help you solve a variety of issues and welcome and host safe spaces for active duty /retired veterans and their dependents, college students, LGBTQ+, POC, and older adults.

Many people experience injuries in life that do not subside with the passage of time. The residue of these injuries can result in depression, intrusive thoughts and desperate ways of coping. We can fall into patterns of being that feel too hard to change. All of this then interferes with connection to others and intimacy. One does not have to live this way. It can be different.

Many of us have unknowingly rejected or silenced parts of ourselves that don’t fit with our idea of who we are supposed to be. As a result, life can feel out of balance or even inauthentic. My hope is to create a safe and accepting space for you to feel empowered to implement positive changes in your life. I work with individuals who struggle with depression, anxiety and worry, substance use, stress, trauma, abuse, anger, fear, grief and loss, guilt and shame, and other challenges. I also work with couples who are having difficulty connecting and experiencing issues related to trust, intimacy, and affection.
