I help young adults and twenty-somethings understand and reduce their anxiety, perfectionism, self criticism, and sense of feeling lost in life. I focus on major life transitions (such as loss of a relationship, grief, and/or those starting college/learning to navigate adulthood) and healing and growing from past trauma. I am trained in EMDR, which is a common method for trauma treatment. As a therapist, I create a safe space for others where they can feel fully seen, heard, and supported in sharing their unique story and achieving their personal goals.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy ( EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Gottman approaches (Couples therapy).
Let’s get real. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Seeking out a therapist who can help you on that path is the first step. How can I help you? Many people see therapy as a very one-sided conversation, with little opportunity for interaction or getting to experience each other as real people. In my approach, you will find that I keep it real! I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible and experiencing both yourself and your world in new ways. Your therapy does not always need to be painful.

I am trained in a number of modalities but primarily use Deep Brain Reorienting, EMDR with Structural Dissociation theory, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
Therapy provides a unique opportunity to develop a safe and supportive relationship to assist in creating meaningful change. After years of training and practice I have come to realize that this change must involve a deeper healing. As human beings we experience challenges throughout our lives that can feel overwhelming and often traumatic. Without the support, skills or resources in these times we end up needing to develop short term coping strategies that may be causing long term problems. I specialize in working with adult professionals struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, guilt/shame, trauma and/or relationship difficulties.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, borderline, and trauma presentations, using a combination of EMDR, NARM, narrative, acceptance, and existential therapies to support my clients.
Many of us feel like we are fighting several losing battles at once, often causing feelings of hollowness, sadness, hopelessness, and anxiety. This can make us feel like there’s no way to find our purpose or direction in life, impacting our relationships to others and ourselves. Navigating these struggles means more than addressing symptoms: we have to rediscover a sense of meaning. To do this, I blend together modalities that address trauma, identity, problem solving, and understanding our belief systems to best support the person from a place that is grounded and informed by their personal goals and priorities.
