If this sounds like you, I'm so glad you're here! I specialize in trauma and am trained in EMDR.
You've been through some difficult and painful experiences in your life. There’s this unspoken pressure to “get over it" and "move on" because it's in the past. You say to yourself, “why can’t I just feel better already? What’s wrong with me?” You feel like no one cares about you or understands what you’re going through. Sometimes you can’t stop the tears from streaming down your face. You may even feel overwhelmed by anxiety - even to the point of having a panic attack. It can come out of nowhere and you don’t understand what brought it on or how to make yourself feel better.

My specialties are in EMDR, IFS, Eastern Psychology, Mindfulness, and more commonly recognized modalities such as CBT, DBT, and ACT.
I believe in emphasizing one’s own unique spiritual journey as the primary source of knowing; that there is nothing needed to “fix,” but rather an opportunity to explore with newfound curiosity and connection. Collaborating with our natural environment and translating what is discussed during our time in into lived experiences is incredibly powerful and useful for sustained growth and learning.

I provide trauma-informed, affirming, care using evidence-based therapies, like AEDP, EMDR, IFS, and somatic-based therapies.
I believe there is a healing force, a motivation towards self-repair, that's operating in each of us, despite a history of trauma or suffering. So often when we are suffering, in pain, feeling confused, or stuck, we are convinced that something outside ourselves will provide relief. The truth is, the means to achieving what you want already lives inside you. I’m here to help you trust yourself again. Through mindful exploration of your inner landscape, we’ll help you break free from the constraints of the past, recover a stable sense of self, and help you create a life that feels bigger, and more aligned with your true self.

I have training in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Dissociation, Somatic Experiencing, and Mindfulness.
Welcome! I have spent more than a decade in trauma work and understand the arduous process to release the debilitating grip past trauma can have on a client’s present-moment experience. I recognize the profound courage it takes to look deeply within. I prepare my clients to find that invisible line between comfort and discomfort to set the foundation for lifechanging results and encourage them to live in their own authentic truth. Trauma healing looks different for everyone and I work side by side with each of my clients to design a path of healing that feels right to them.

Through evidence based therapies like EMDR, DBT and CBT you will learn to get unstuck.
You’re so busy taking care of everyone around you there’s no time or energy left for you. Despite this, you struggle with feeling like you aren’t doing enough. You’ve tried to manage things on your own but feel like nothing is helping. There’s this powerlessness that keeps creeping in and this gray cloud hanging over your every move. Feeling this way is impacting your relationships, work, and life. You know something has to change. Imagine the ability to be present with the people you love and the confidence to live the life you always pictured. I have helped my clients achieve this, and you can too.

You might feel isolated, misunderstood, or unable to cope with daily stressors. You continue to act and think in ways that are not aligned with your values. I am here to help you navigate these difficulties, offering support and guidance tailored to your unique life experiences and needs.

My work is firmly rooted in the systemic approach and draws from other practice theories as needed including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Strategic Therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
We all experience emotional injuries. Some are minor and other could qualify as trauma. These injuries shape how we respond to our current situation. At times the responses are helpful, but at other times these responses are no longer helping us live our best life. In addition, these injuries may cause symptoms that at times can become unmanageable. Luckily it is possible to heal from these injuries. Therapy can help with the process of healing, especially if we get stuck along the way.

I work through an attachment-based and trauma-informed framework - specifically, through the clinical models of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing).
I work with clients who struggle with: unresolved emotional injury, trauma, self-worth, relational connection, mood/emotional problems, addictions, compulsive behaviors, and spiritual issues. I also work with members of the clergy (pastors, priests, missionaries, ministry leaders) who struggle with deep personal issues but lack a safe, nurturing space in which they may experience support and healing. My clients all seek and deserve healing in their lives and relationships.

My goal is to build strong therapeutic relationships with my clients, grounded in empathy and trust. I am committed to learning each of my client's unique and diverse life stories. My clients rely on me to help "unpack" not only the issues that brought them to therapy, but to better understand how their upbringing, family, and life experiences impact their mental wellbeing. I work with adults, couples, families and adolescents (age 16 and up), who are experiencing depression, anxiety and stress, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, maternal mental health, and relationship conflicts.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR), which has been found to effectively treat PTSD and a variety of other challenges.
Do you find yourself stuck in unwanted patterns? Are you overwhelmed with past experiences that seem to still be lingering? Are you wrestling with anxiety and difficult emotions? I believe that healing is possible! I believe so many of us stay stuck because we do not have the right support for healing. While having an outlet to talk or vent can be helpful, my approach involves working more directly with the root cause of the issue, which is stored in our nervous system. I enjoy helping client’s make sense of what’s going on, so we can compassionately resolve the identified problems and achieve their goals.
