I am especially skilled at helping clients with trauma or PTSD by using EMDR and IFS.
Therapy can be weird. It can be uncomfortable to open up to a stranger about your thoughts, feelings, traumatic memories, and expose the aspects of you that are unhealthy. Therapy can also be a space where you allow yourself to be fully known, fully valued, and more clearly understood. My goal is to create an environment where you can more fully understand yourself, accept yourself, and allow yourself to grow in order to live an exciting and fulfilling life. I most often work with people who have experienced complex trauma, and struggle with addictive or out-of-control patterns as a result.

Additionally, I include IFS and trauma-informed approaches.
“It’s just not working. Maybe we aren’t meant to be. It shouldn’t be this hard. I just need my space. Nothing I do is ever good enough. I feel like we’re just roommates." These are some of the statements that bring us to our knees in relationships, and hopefully get us in the door to therapy. As humans, we are biologically wired to connect with others. Since conception, we have some level of dependency that our society just expects us to “grow out of” as we age. While in reality, we need a secure relationship with another to feel comfortable enough to take necessary risks in our individual lives.

Richard Schwartz, founder of IFS, said, “Beneath all the inner chatter and emotional turmoil, we are much more than we have been led to believe.
I work with adults who have experienced trauma or life events that have resulted in unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and feelings. You might notice them presenting as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and problems with relationships or performance. With a background in nursing, I appreciate how harmony between our thoughts, emotions, body, and spirit influences our health. Exploring those areas along with your life experiences, values, beliefs, and burdens, and identifying your internal resources helps to create more space for self-acceptance and change.

My modalities include: Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Jungian/Depth Psychology, Yogic Philosophy, Mindfulness and Meditation.
I work with individuals who are naturally curious about themselves and the world and who enjoy self reflection, personal growth and development.

I am trained in emotionally-focused therapy and internal family systems.
Does anxiety get in the way of your performance sexually, or otherwise? Have past experiences left you feeling guarded, fearful or confused? Is being vulnerable difficult for you? Unresolved grief or trauma can make us feel stuck, misunderstood, and unable to move forward. It can leave us feeling depressed, and anxious. Perhaps you desire enhanced connection with others but this has been elusive to you and you feel physically or emotionally blocked in some way. You want to reach your full potential in all areas of your life and you just need some support to unlock it.
