I cultivate therapeutic relationships built on deep trust and incorporate mindfulness, narrative awareness, strengths-based insight building, and cognitive restructuring, focusing from a spiritual perspective on what gives meaning, purpose, and connection.

Thanks for visiting! We will be the right fit if you’re striving toward a better version of yourself. You might notice it's easier to think than feel–maybe even overthink–about how to live, be, and relate to others well. You want more honesty throughout your relationships (and with yourself), even when it's uncomfortable. You thrive with exploring, challenging questions, and occasional redirection toward larger goals. We will be reflecting on relationships, families of origin, career, and general stress of life that leads to feelings of discomfort.

A lot of our psychological pain is rooted in past traumatic experiences. When we experience trauma, memories of these events remain with us as unprocessed memories, affecting our moods, behaviors, sense of self, and our body. As a Holistic Psychotherapist specializing in EMDR, I empower my clients to create impactful change in their lives by helping them gain insight into themselves/others and overcome their limiting beliefs through processing these difficult memories. Healing from trauma can be hard work but I am with my clients every step of the way and provide them the skills and resources that they need.
