Everyone has a story to tell, but sometimes it can feel like we’ve lost control of the narrative. My job is to help you get back into the driver’s seat. Perhaps you feel stuck in old patterns from pain, heartache, or grief. My typical client struggles with low self-worth, mood challenges, or behaviors like substance use, gambling, or disordered eating. Underlying trauma often plays a role, even if not immediately obvious. Therapy with me is a space for self-discovery—I can help you put words to what you’re experiencing so you can better understand yourself and what you need to live a life worth living.
Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface while also building practical skills to manage stress, improve confidence, and navigate challenges more effectively. I am a Master Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) practitioner. Like EMDR, ART uses bilateral eye movements help to process memories, emotions and sensations stuck in the nervous system.
I have specialized training in trauma and addiction, along with personal insight into how these issues impact individuals and their loved ones. Whether you are reaching out for the first time, or you're already familiar with the process, I'm glad you're here! I welcome you to schedule a 15 minute call with me so we can gauge our fit together.

Using ART's bilateral eye movements, I guide my clients to process memories and emotions more effectively than typically occurs in talk therapy. Many clients enjoy problem solving in a more creative and metaphorical way than they are used to. I often use this in combination with talk therapy.
