Welcome! I am so glad you are here and have decided to take this important first step on a journey of self-discovery. My approach focuses on not only what is happening on the surface, but finding the root cause. Our experience of stressful or scary moments does not always end when the event itself stops occurring. Our brain and body hold on to reminders of these times, which can have consequences for our work, relationships and overall well-being. Using Eye-movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) we will be able to work together to achieve healing of both the past and the present.

Finding a therapist we feel safe enough to be vulnerable with can be overwhelming. This alone can make the decision of whether or not to enter into therapy even more stressful than it needs to be. Emotions being complex in themselves can make it even more challenging to figure out where to begin to open up. If you are someone who finds yourself struggling with coping with intense emotions, making decisions you’ve later found yourself regretting, replaying back your past, worried about the future and having difficulties building meaningful relationships, I may be a good fit for you!
