I provide a supportive and compassionate environment to give my clients space to process past trauma, current stress, and anxiety about the future. My practice integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, mindfulness training, and Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization (EMDR). Using these frameworks we will examine how past experiences impact your current functioning. We will identify traumatic experiences, dysfunctional thoughts and destructive behavior patterns. Then use EMDR and talk therapy to shift the beliefs that reinforce these habits to relieve psychological and emotional suffering.
I believe you can improve your self esteem and feel more satisfied with your life. I specialize in helping people cope with depression, anxiety, trauma, disability, grief, chronic illness, terminal illness, and chronic pain. I enjoy working with individuals who are seeking to gain personal understanding, self acceptance and peace of mind.
I offer weekly 55-minute sessions. My treatment approach focuses on cultivating the qualities of compassion, patience and simplicity in your life. I will help you to build better coping skills to handle life's stressors. If this type of work sounds appealing to you please email to schedule an intake interview, include availability and insurance coverage.

Talk therapy and EMDR can help to end the cycle of stress and traumatization that define Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I can help you identify your worth and bring your focus into the present moment. By cultivating mindful awareness of how the past influences your present state you can act your values and achieve peace of mind.
