Hi there! I'm an EMDR Holistic therapist for sensitive souls, ages 18 and up, and blend: EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic and Spiritual therapy with sound healing. My clients and I chart a clear path to healing from the weight of being a sensitive soul, low self-esteem, people pleasing, challenging life transitions, heartbreak, grief, trauma and more. Our work together can help you increase self-compassion, learn nervous system regulation and reclaim your inner child and sense of self. I'm also an Imago trained couples therapist and work with partnered couples. My practice is LGBTQIA+ and Poly allied.
My style is warm and relational, and my clients and I work together to chart a clear path to healing. My therapy combines science and spirituality for sensitive souls. I offer regular therapy sessions, as well as 2 hour EMDR Holistic therapy Intensives.
Have you struggled with sensitivity, low self-esteem, challenging life transitions, heartbreak, trauma and grief/loss? If so, you are in the right place! Are you and your partner going through a transition, grief or communication issues? I offer 1-1 therapy and premarital therapy and couples therapy.
