In particular, I am passionate about working with couples who are seeking to improve their relationship, and individuals who are struggling with interpersonal conflict, identity development, communication, life stage transitions, depression and anxiety, stress-management, self-esteem issues, and grief, loss, and trauma.
Change is a natural part of life, and yet it can be challenging and even, at times, paralyzing. However, change can also provide us with opportunities to grow and become the kind of people we aim to be. Finding out what those goals are and how to get there is a collaborative process between client and therapist. I am consistently inspired by people who show resilience and persevere through very tough times as they seek solutions to their problems. I am honored to walk with them as they make that journey and I am always changed by the process as well.

What if the reason you’re still struggling isn’t a lack of insight, but that the same patterns keep living beneath what you understand? You’ve tried therapy before. You know the language. Yet the same inner dialogue, the same emotional loops, the same situations keep returning in new forms. You’re capable, you’ve “done the work,” and you’re deeply self-aware, but something hasn’t shifted. Not because you’re doing it wrong, but because what needs healing lives beyond words. This is the work of being witnessed at the level where change finally becomes embodied, not just understood.

Shifts occurring through this process often include improved relationships, stable self-esteem, and resilience to life’s challenges.
As a trauma therapist with comprehensive training from The Family Institute at Northwestern University and a background in mind-body science, I help clients who seek meaningful change, in both brief/intensive treatment and/or ongoing therapy. EMDR Intensives are for those ready to move beyond distressing experiences. These longer (but fewer) sessions allow for highly concentrated treatment. Participants report increased emotional tolerance and that this focused work has allowed them to experience progress and relief sooner and more efficiently.
