I believe in your own ability to heal and feel whole in this life. Whether this statement feels true in this moment or are questioning 'How do I start that process?'. I want to explore who that person is inside of you that craves to be known and seen. I focus on three main types of therapy; mindfulness, creativity/art and EMDR. I start every session with a short mindfulness skill to drop into our time together. I'm trained in EMDR which can be helpful for a range of symptoms from anxiety, depression to PTSD. I use the practice of creativity to work with the mind body connection and non-ordinary states of consciousness.

Thus, I am trained in EMDR, animal/environmental integrated therapies, and holistic practices.
New EMDR client openings for October! Are you looking for someone who feels like a friend but with the clinical expertise to help you with your decisions? If this sounds like your ideal therapist, look no further. While the stereotypical idea of a therapist can conjure ideas of an older expert, I like to serve as a confidant to my clients, acting as a empathetic sounding board with similar, recent life experiences. I primarily work with those exploring their sexual identity, going through life stage changes, and struggling with depression or anxiety.

I am EMDR trained and have extensive experience in working with adult survivors of complex trauma and abuse, as well as people navigating birth trauma of any kind.
If you are ready for real change in your life and are tired of being stuck in the same routine, same fears, or same unhelpful thought patterns, then we will likely work well together. Many of the clients who see me for therapy have experienced excessive worry and hyper-vigilance, hopelessness, suffered from the aftereffects of a traumatic event, or have had difficulty connecting in relationships with others. I love working with women and men who are currently experiencing the wild changes and challenges of parenthood, particularly helping women find their selfhood during the pre and postpartum journey.

My preferred treatment is EMDR as I have seen it be very helpful.
Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or other emotional struggles that seem impossible to get through? Do these things interfere with your life goals and relationships? You don't have to stay stuck where you are. Therapy can be very helpful with the effort of both the clinician and client. I don’t believe one approach is fitting for everyone as I come from an eclectic view. I will work with you through a therapeutic modality we both agree fits your needs and where you are in your journey towards health.

I use EMDR, IFS and somatic therapy to help you find long-lasting results and believe that trauma does not have to be in the driver’s seat of your life.
You often find yourself wondering, “what will it take for me to feel normal?” It feels like you’ve tried everything, including therapy, but you can’t seem to “get it together” like everyone else and feel constantly on edge. Being abandoned by your partner or friends is constantly on your mind. You might know in your head that you don’t need to be anxious about the things that keep you up at night, but your body tells a different story with the knots in your stomach and tightness in your chest. All of this leads you to feel like it’s impossible to break out of old patterns. You’re ready to dive in deep and find long-lasting relief.

As an adult, you are beginning to realize that your childhood wasn’t “just normal”. You got away from total chaos in your family. Or maybe you left the church/religion. Or perhaps you have been rejected by past community for your sexual or gender identity. You thought you could just move on but you can’t. This experience has left you totally destabilized. It feels like anxiety and depression are tag teaming. You don’t know who you are anymore. You feel so alone. All of your friends who didn’t have this experience just don’t get it. At the very least you just want to feel normal but what even is that?

My clients are individuals who have experienced trauma at some point in their lifetime. They are individuals who notice conflict in their relationships, including difficulties with boundaries & communication. My clients find themselves putting other's needs before their own, & as a result feel burnt out. Emotions are often confusing or overwhelming, so avoidance is typically the coping strategy they are most comfortable with. My clients are willing to explore new ways of being in order to live life more fully. My clients are open to a holistic approach to therapy that includes all areas of their life & their unique identities.

There are times when we need a caring professional to come alongside us like Virgil with Dante as we find our way through traumatic Infernos. Finding purpose and meaning in our troubles is impossible to do alone. Our soul suffers for lack of meaning -- something to fill the hollowness inside, besides material possessions and allusions of success. We long for something to bring light to the darkness of our mere existence. I would be honored to accompany you through your personal Infernos into the unfolding of your truer whole self.

Are you ready to overcome the belief that something is wrong with you? Do you struggle with: low self-esteem, dis-empowerment, creating healthy relationships, setting boundaries, self-compassion, or self-care? These issues are common in our society today- there is a collective belief that somehow, no matter what we do, we are intrinsically flawed or broken. We have traded the sacred truth of our own experience for self-aggression, self-judgment, and self-loathing, and we feel miserable.
