I love to use a variety of approaches to help someone heal and it can include EMDR, laughter, podcasts, Documentaries, books and a practice of asana's (Yoga) and breath (pranayama).
Self-exploration is probably the most challenging but highly rewarding journey you can take in your life. The narrative you hold about yourself is based on your lived experiences. It's a combination of controlled and uncontrolled events. It's often the uncontrolled events/experiences in your life that take a gripping hold, disempower you, frighten you and disable your ability to function. Getting control of your circumstances is truly liberating. Reaching that freedom of choice takes courage, perseverance, resilience and grit. Let’s access all of those strengths within you and get started.

Through EMDR and an IFS informed approach, my clients uncover and heal the places where they get stuck in flight, fight, or freeze.
Do you struggle with anxiety, low self esteem, or hypervigilance that affect your relationships and ability to function? Do you feel overwhelmed by the idea of getting through the day? Do you ever wonder if your emotions could be easier to cope with? In our current social climate, many people feel like there is just too much to manage. Stress and trauma can sap your confidence and your ability to face and tolerate challenges.

I'm trained in EMDR to help you process traumatic experiences and get free of your blocks.
There's nothing quite like the security of close connections. When those connections are strained, so is your sense of safety. “Being yourself” may feel like a tall order if it threatens your relationships. You need a space with another human being whose job it is to know and understand you from a place of curiosity and compassion. A space where you can question your beliefs and get clear on who you are without the fear of being condemned.

I specialize in treating anxiety, self esteem, and trauma in adults utilizing individual therapy and EMDR.
On the surface you have it “all together” but underneath are struggling with constant anxiety & self doubt. Despite being smart, driven, and incredibly hard working, life feels hard. No matter how much you do or accomplish, you never feel good enough. You always put others first and struggle to say no, even when overwhelmed. You want to heal from old wounds and break unhelpful patterns but you aren’t sure how.

You may've wondered why you couldn't just be happier, more confident, or less anxious. Perhaps you find yourself heartbroken or sense that your relationship is in trouble. You may feel stuck in a career or project with little motivation to move forward. Maybe you're struggling to handle painful emotions or a traumatic past. If left unaddressed, these difficulties may lead to depression, anxiety, or a host of relationship issues that can stop you from creating the life you want.

Does it ever seem like you should be doing better than you are? Does it seem like everything in your life looks great on paper- and yet you can't seem to feel good? Believe me, I've been there. It can be so much easier to sort out the external parts of your life than to look inside yourself to figure out what's keeping you frustrated.

Do you struggle with self-esteem, imposter syndrome, or perfectionism that affects your ability to feel successful at work, in relationships, and day-to-day? Do you feel overwhelmed by things that “should” be simpler, or compare yourself to others and feel frustrated when you can’t do things with the same ease? These thoughts or “stories” are running your life and dictating your behavior. But there is a better way to live.

Every one of us deserves joy, peace-of-mind, and well-being. We deserve to reach our full potential. Yet, somewhere along the way, we are diverted--oftentimes when our past burdens us, change upsets us, or unmet expectations disappoint us. Attempting to make sense of the distress, we engage in patterns that seem to comfort us, but in actuality, they move us further away from growth and the very things that have the power to fulfill us. Whatever your reason is for therapy, I aim to help pinpoint these patterns, rewrite your story, and guide you in finding your way towards the positive life aspects that you're worthy of experiencing.

I help individuals reconnect to themselves, their intuition, and deepen relationship with others. Through trauma-informed and compassionate care, let's work together to help you shed symptoms of shame, rediscover authenticity, and come home to yourself. Individuals who have experienced religious harm, disappointment in faith communities, or are leaving high control groups are particularly drawn to my work. It's important to honor the grief and feelings of isolation that can come with reconsidering beliefs that were once so important to you.

People who see me are often painfully impacted by ADHD, neurodivergence, anxiety, executive functioning difficulties, procrastination, imposter syndrome, creative blocks; C-PTSD, narcissistic & emotional abuse, codependency, people-pleasing, relationship issues, family conflict, estrangement; and OCD (including Pure-O & R-OCD). While I enjoy working with clients from all fields, I specialize in treating creative professionals & artists. As a creative, you may be building your career or considering a total pivot. Regardless of where you are now, the unknowns of where you'll end up can be anxiety-provoking. Maybe now more than ever?

Coming home to yourself is a daily practice that can feel impossible amidst the grind of everyday life. When waking up feels like a chore and you're wondering, 'is this all there is?', you know it's time to get support. You deserve to create space for what is being asked to move through you. I help sensitive creatives tune back into your inner wisdom, shed the weight of heavy experiences/beliefs, and live a balanced & beautiful life on your terms.

It's been said that the ultimate purpose of psychotherapy is to introduce a person to herself or himself. The struggles of life can cause us to lose touch with our true thoughts, our true feelings, our true selves and, as a result, we can become dissatisfied and unhappy living the life that we think we’re supposed to live rather than the one we truly desire. Effective psychotherapy can reconnect us with our authentic selves and, once that has been accomplished, everything is possible. It is this principle that guides all of the work I do with my clients.
