Maybe you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or difficulty in relationships. Maybe you're navigating a life transition, grief, or sexual challenges. Maybe it's hard to connect to yourself or maybe you have a lot of insight into where your patterns stem from - and yet somehow, they keep repeating. Together, we can explore what is happening for you in new ways which can bring insight, understanding, and real relief. This process can support you in accessing more authenticity and self-trust, and allow for more intimacy and connection in your relationships with yourself and others.
My approach is active, warm, direct, compassionate, and I also bring in humor and levity. I'm trained in depth therapy as well as EMDR which means that we can go beyond coping and symptom management and get to the root causes of the distress or stuckness that you're feeling. Even if you've tried therapy before or aren't sure about it, healing is possible.
Therapy can be a rich and beautiful journey to embark on, and also an adventure into the unknown. The process can result in more spaciousness, possibility, and connection and it can also take courage to reach out. I'm happy to provide a 20 minute phone consult to answer any questions and explore the possibility of scheduling a first session.

I also offer EMDR therapy which can be integrated into regular therapy, or a short-term and focused approach for specific traumatic event(s). Sometimes people pursue EMDR therapy as a secondary treatment while they continue with their regular ongoing therapy.
