Emerging knowledge of mindfulness and neurobiology inform my emotion-focused style of counseling. I approach clients not as diagnoses but as people experiencing disconnection from others and self, who have within them the desire and capability for change. I believe that healing occurs within the safety of a warm therapeutic relationship, in which we make space for compassionately exploring our emotions and meaning-making.

Life is hard, and we are often our toughest critic. As an EMDR therapist, I am passionate about focusing on experiences and relationships that have caused people to sustain negative beliefs about themselves. I find that those beliefs, whether we are aware of them or not, are often at the core of anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, and addictive behaviors. I work with clients to uproot those beliefs and forge a new way of living, both in mind and body.
