I am also EMDR trained by the EMDR International Association which is the leading approach for PTSD.
Do you find yourself feeling fearful and not knowing why? Do you question your behavior and feel like your reactions are abnormal? Does it feel like no one understands and that life is too overwhelming sometimes? You're not alone, and it's time to talk about it.

I'm certified in perinatal mental health and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization + Reprocessing), a trauma processing therapy, and enjoy working with clients who are motivated to grow and heal.
You imagined the path to parenthood to look a lot different. Pregnancy, trying to conceive, coping with losses and becoming a parent for the first (or umpteenth time) can be quite different than expected. It's important to get help if you're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious as you anticipate and cope with these transitions.

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.

I use a variety of therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused-CBT, and Solution Focus Therapy.
Together we will explore the root cause of your struggles and find alternative and healthier ways to cope. I operate from a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed lens, focusing on how your unique experiences, challenges, and mental well-being is impacted. Together we will build upon strengths that are inherently present as we collaborate on your path to emotional healing and wellness.

I utilize EMDR and Brainspotting to help clients reprocess traumatic experiences.
Our story affects the way we define our identities and give meaning to our lives. Sometimes our stories become a barrier to living our lives to the fullest and finding fulfillment in our relationships. I focus on empowering you to re-story your experiences so you can move out of limiting interpretations and arrive at, or renew, your preferred identity that is congruent with your values.

I am trained in EMDR, Sandplay, Brainspotting, Gestalt, Narrarive, and Expressive Arts.
I believe that healing happens when we pay attention to all the parts that make us whole—our mind, body, and soul. My theoretical orientation is influenced by Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Emotionally-Focused, Humanistic-Experiential, and Narrative approaches to treatment. This means that we will be going on an emotional journey together in which I will use an eclectic combination of clinical theories and techniques to help guide my work. I believe that the lack of emotional awareness and avoiding uncomfortable emotions can cause harm to our mind, body, and soul. My hope is to help you get to know yourself better.

I work through an “attachment lens” and when beneficial will incorporate my EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) training to reprocess some of those old messages that may still be replaying in your body.
The journey towards healing may feel overwhelming at times and sometimes can feel outright impossible. It can feel especially heavy when we attempt to heal on our own. If you are ready, I am here to walk with you. You don’t have to do this alone.

My approach combines the understanding of emotional and relationship patterns using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the trauma-healing power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR).
Are you feeling stuck in your relationship or weighed down by the past?

Navigating these issues can be tough, especially when life already demands so much from you, but you don't have to navigate them alone. Together, we’ll explore how your past impacts your present, better connect with your emotions, and uncover the patterns that hold you back. With this understanding, we can move forward with clarity and confidence.

I utilize Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF- EMDR) to process trauma or stressors.
One of my favorite parts about therapy is the openness to explore what you've been through, where you are, and where you'd like to go. It’s important that my clients feel safe and understood as we collaborate to find what is needed whether that be peace, healing, joy, energy, or whatever else you are seeking. I am experienced in helping folks with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and life transitions.
