I provide trauma-informed care, EMDR, CBT, CPT, and ACT.
Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.

I'm trained in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing and use these body-based practices to help you connect with yourself on a deeper level and build a self-loving relationship.
Gen-Z & Millennials, I understand the unique challenges you face being completely overcome by unruly and intense emotions. You're doing your best and still find yourself getting hijacked by your emotions, unable to express yourself and be how you want. You're tired of the self-doubt, circular arguments, panic, anger, and sadness that are holding you back. You're ready to know yourself in new, embodied and loving ways in order to feel in harmony with yourself and your life.

My approach emphasizes authenticity and the idea that growth can happen while in a nourishing setting. I assist clients with developing sustainable coping strategies, uncovering patterns, and navigating relational dynamics. My goal is to help clients find realistic solutions within their unique circumstances.

I am trained and experienced in using EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS)/parts work, as well as other trauma-based recovery models, to help clients heal from many different forms of trauma and wounding.
At different points in our lives, we may find ourselves navigating difficult waters. These periods are tender and sacred, and having the light and guidance of a therapist can be healing in many ways. I have a genuine interest in getting to know you and holding a warm, gentle, nonjudgmental space for you to explore yourself. I am curious about the identities you embody and how these identities intersect and dance within a larger context of family, community, culture, and social systems.

I incorporate EMDR, mindfulness, internal family systems, and solutions-focused therapy and draw from CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, feminist/multicultural, somatic therapy.
You may find yourself constantly doubting yourself, often asking others for their input about major life decisions. You may feel that others “have it all together” while feeling overwhelmed with your roles and responsibilities. You may worry about everyone else’s needs but feel empty when you’ve made sure everyone else is taken care of. If any of this is true for you, you’ve come to the right place. Therapy is a safe and supportive haven to remind you that YOU matter. Your desires, strengths, and needs deserve to be held and acknowledged.

I am trained in EMDR and can offer to use this to help treat trauma, helping you to listen and learn from your body and your emotions.
In my time working with clients, many often come feeling lost, with a a deep sense of worthlessness and anxiety, experiencing a fear for the world and their responsibilities. Often, they come wanting to learn and understand why they feel this way and wanting to learn ways of managing their emotions. Their goals can often vary, but the common goal is that they just want to feel better and want to have purpose and direction in their life once again. If this sounds anything like yourself, then you are not alone and maybe we should sit down and talk about it.
