We're often told that our 20s and 30s are the best years of our lives. But it doesn't feel like that if you're constantly struggling with self-criticism, feeling insecure in your relationships, and regularly experiencing "impostor syndrome" at school or work. The reality is that it's hard to enjoy your present if you're still holding onto baggage from your past. ​ Whether your parents were emotionally unavailable, you were bullied by classmates or a sibling, you lost friendships throughout your childhood and adolescence, or were hurt by a romantic partner, the results are often the same- anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.
Together, we'll take a look at your past experiences and how they’ve shaped the person you are today. I’ll help you shift your thoughts and feelings from shame-based and self-critical to compassionate and self-accepting. You'll be able to take better care of yourself, trust in your relationships, and feel confident in your performance in school and at work.
I understand that finding a therapist can be an overwhelming experience, but you've already taken the first step! If you're ready to get unstuck and move forward with confidence, reach out for a free 20 minute consultation. I'm looking forward to learning more about you and how I can help. Please note I do not accept insurance.

Oftentimes anxiety and depression stem from low self-esteem, and low self-esteem stems from trauma. Because of this I help clients address the root of their problem using EMDR therapy. As we do so, you'll learn to shift your thoughts and feelings, treat yourself more compassionately, and feel more secure in your relationships.

I enjoy working with clients who want to get to the root cause of their issues so that they can experience lasting relief. I find attachment-focused EMDR and IFS to be the most effective ways of doing so. We'll begin by developing resources to help you feel prepared to take a look at your past. Then, we'll re-process past experiences until you feel relief from the baggage you're holding on to.
