I blend relational and experiential therapies with EMDR to treat the root problem, not just the symptoms.
Can't stop procrastinating? Keep repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns? Afraid your loved ones will leave or stop loving you if you do anything wrong? Burnt out & unable to juggle it all? Drained from trying to prove yourself at work and in relationships? Unsure who you are after compromising your own values & needs for others? Controlled by impulsive behaviors like scrolling, spending, or drinking too much? If this sounds familiar, I might be a good fit for you. I help adults struggling with these issues to build confidence, improve relationships, and find relief from trauma & other emotionally distressing experiences.

I utilize EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, combined with eclectic, attachment-focused, relational/cultural and feminist therapies.
It is a gift to feel connected to the inner self. Each day, I aim to help my clients gain more insight into their emotions, body sensations, thoughts and behaviors. My role as therapist is to work alongside my clients: identifying strengths, removing obstacles that hinder progress, exploring alternative perspectives, and accepting all parts of self, even the ones that feel hard to accept at times. Especially if you have experienced significant stress or adversity, this can be a challenge. I believe that each person is the expert in their own life and has intuitive wisdom. I provide a toolbox you can pull from to aid the process.
