Whether it is a specific trauma history or persistent feelings you cannot shake; there is hope.
You’re my ideal client! I want to meet you wherever you are & journey with you to where you want to go. Ever pass people who look impossibly high-functioning/put together - makes you feel like you'll never get there? So many look in a mirror & wonder who’s staring back & how they became who they are now. To understand you, we first have to understand the story you’ve created from the beginning. Letting others into dark corners of your life, where hurt hides, can be scary & painful. But, it’s in those moments where healing happens. My role, in your journey, is to stand beside you, in the darker places, & help you turn on a light

EMDR can help clients heal from trauma and reduce anxiety.
I work with people who are trying to find a sense of who they are. I believe each of us is born with an authentic self that guides us on our path and has the innate capacity for healing. When that authentic self is not nurtured enough by our environment, we develop defenses as protection. Patterns of behavior, ways of perceiving the world, and anxiety often result. Through our work together, I help you strengthen your authentic self and explore whether the defenses are still needed. I am interested in your strengths as well as your struggles, and my aim is for you to begin to feel grounded, whole and centered.
