My ideal client is the motivated and eager client. Perhaps you've intellectualized all of the things you have experienced and you are ready to do something about it! I help people do a deep dive through their self awareness, ranging from childhood (micro & macro) trauma to where unresolved emotions or experiences may live in your body. If you are ready for a deep dive within, we may be aligned. I am EMDR trained and practice from a wholistic framework that welcomes a whole body experience for healing and self-connection.
My approach in helping you do your inner work is collaborative, transformative, and tailored to your individual journey. Perhaps you are noticing how your attachment style may be showing up in your relationship to things/people. I help you make connections, unlearn, re-parent, and/or re-wire your brain for success through EMDR.
I am devoted to using my clinical expertise, along with my own humanity, to support, validate, & gently challenge you to disconnect from things/ideas that no longer serve you. Regardless of the stage of life you are in, or the setting that presents you with the most challenges, let's get you to a space where you are living your life with intentionality.

attachment wounds, & the internal patterns that keep you in survival mode, over-functioning, or self-abandoning. A typical treatment plan may include EMDR for individuals ready to process trauma at its root, or attachment-based work to build emotional security and inner clarity. You can expect trauma-informed, culturally responsive care that affirms queer clients and people of color.

EMDR is my preferred treatment method as it gets to the root of concerns. In your very first session, you get to expound on our consultation and the things that you would like to see change for you. It is my experience that you are never the only person in the room with us. I consider your inner child's experience & how that impacts your lens.
