Grounded in trauma-informed care, guided by compassion, and rooted in authenticity - I believe healing happens when you truly feel seen and supported. I utilize IFS and EMDR in my therapeutic practice. Both modalities, either separate or paired together, can be incredibly beneficial for many challenges including, but not limited to: trauma/PTSD, anxiety disorders, depression, feeling stagnant in life, attachment/interpersonal issues, and unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns that keep you feeling stuck.
I strive to create an individualized and intentional therapy experience for every client. In addition to EMDR and IFS, I am also formally trained in Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy. I describe my approach as integrative, collaborative, and client-focused.
I'm here to meet you at your current stage of change, at your preferred pace. My goal is that you feel safe, supported, heard, and empowered. Please visit my website to request an appointment and my intake coordinator through Center for Resilience Strategies will contact you!
