Is life leaving you feeling drained, lost, or on edge? With Eclectic EMDR therapy, I can help you find your way back to clarity, balance, and purpose. I work with Entertainment industry creatives, professionals, and LGBTQ individuals to work together and address anxiety, depression, trauma, identity, and relationship patterns while building insight and practical skills for lasting change and design a powerfully authentic life. Let’s dig deep, uncover what’s underneath, and create shifts that help you make choices from a place of joy.

I blend EMDR, Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT, DBT, and IFS to help you understand yourself more deeply, work through challenges, and create lasting change. By combining insight with practical skills, we spark meaningful shifts that make life more manageable, authentic, and fulfilling.

Having spent years in the entertainment world myself, I understand the intensity of creative life, “deadline panic,” burnout, and the demand to stay inspired while giving so much of yourself. My work centers on helping ambitious, sensitive, and purpose-driven people, especially within the LGBTQ+ community, feel seen, supported, and empowered.
