I believe that therapy works best when it feels supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you. Over the past ten years, I’ve helped clients navigate challenges such as divorce, coparenting, ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and the ups and downs that come with life transitions. For family difficulties, I often help parents and children adjust relationship dynamics, strengthen communication, and build tools that reduce conflict and stress at home. For individual difficulties, I provide support in navigating challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, and life transitions. I offer appointments Monday through Friday.

I am trained in EMDR and Brainspotting.
I believe that we are whole persons with physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects.

Once this is established, I typically ecourage clients to give EMDR a try to see if it is the right fit for what they're looking for.
Do you feel stuck in your head overthinking everything, feeling on edge, or emotionally drained? Anxiety and stress can take a toll on your mind and body, leaving you exhausted, irritable, or disconnected from yourself and others. Sometimes these feelings are tied to past experiences or trauma, even if you’re not sure what “counts” as trauma. Trauma looks different for everyone, and your response is valid. You didn’t choose what happened to you, but you can choose healing. Therapy can help you feel more grounded, find relief from anxiety, and begin to feel like yourself again.

Finding a therapist that you can relate to may be the most important part of therapy. My goal is to create an environment where you feel safe and supported, so that you can open up and get the most out of your sessions. Sometimes starting this process can seem a little overwhelming.

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.
