Welcome! I'm glad you're here. There are many reasons why we reach out for help: life transitions, grief & loss, traumatic experiences, relationship issues, or simply "feeling stuck." Sometimes we can pinpoint why we feel this way, and sometimes we can't. All discomfort, situational or ongoing, deserves care and support. My style is grounded in science, and infused with kindness, curiosity, and non-judgement. I believe humor is medicine, and no win is too small to celebrate. It may take some time, but I have confidence that you will come home to yourself.
I specialize in EMDR to treat anxiety-related issues related to acute stress, phobias, and complex PTSD. I am also experienced in treating depression and suicidal ideation. I draw from attachment theory, ACT, and IFS-informed practice, and build mindfulness-based and cognitive coping skills to use in between sessions.
Deciding on a therapist can feel overwhelming. I always encourage scheduling a 15-minute phone or video consultation as a first step. It's an easy way to ask questions and get a sense of what it would feel like to work together. I look forward to hearing from you!
