My integrative approach encompasses Solution-Focused Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, CBT, and various other therapeutic techniques.
The daily challenges of parenting, work, and sustaining relationships can be daunting, often making us feel isolated and immobilized. During such times, it's crucial to have support to manage stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as to obtain guidance on nurturing healthy relationships and managing life's changes.

Therapy is a great first step if you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging time or you're ready to move in a new direction in your life. I am a Certified EMDR therapist and use it regularly in my practice. EMDR (Eye Movement and Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps clients alleviate the distress associated with painful and traumatic life events and also helps clients transform long-held beliefs about themselves that are no longer useful and keep them stuck in unhealthy patterns and relationships. I also integrate CBT, ACT, IFS parts work and mindfulness to help clients reach their personal goals.

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 am trained in EMDR therapy, which is designed to reduce the emotional intensity attached to the disturbing memories through the use of eye movements or tapping, resulting in a reduction of symptomology.
Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.
