I offer assistance in mindful self-exploration and my training in Attachment-focused EMDR and Hakomi (somatic psychotherapy); and have been teaching and utilizing DBT skills as a part of counseling since 2014.
Do you wish to find greater ease of mind and heart? Do you wish to change your relationship with a harsh inner critic or painful emotions? Or bring clarity to confusion? With therapy, I believe you can find a way to make sense of your inner world and behaviors, heal from childhood and adult wounds, heal from trauma, and increase your sense of a healthier and happy life.

I use evidence-based practices, including Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Reflective Listening, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and somatic processing therapies such as Hakomi, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and EMDR for trauma and attachment repair.
I work with people who are open to making changes to meet life's challenges. I see people experiencing relational trauma, grief, and loss, who are in the midst of life transitions. I prefer to work with adults, including elders, and teenagers. I practice person to person therapy. I believe that each of us has the capacity to heal and that we can be helped to use our inner resources and strengthen the relationships we have with others and with ourselves. I respect and honor all spiritual orientations and religious practice. I have experience with members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I use a model of energy healing that includes tapping and many other energy and EMDR-based interventions.
My focus is on helping people discover their innate sense of Self and purpose in life. Energies necessary for vitality, joy, and love can sometimes become blocked by trauma and its effects—including anxiety, panic, depression, or PTSD, and when one considers all that is happening in our world these days, simply coping can seem to push us to our limits.

Sometimes stress gets stored in the body and no matter how much we try to talk ourselves out of it, we still feel stuck. This kind of stress (often tied up with anxiety) benefits from a biological approach, along with traditional talk therapy. I use EMDR and other non-invasive somatic/biological methods in conjunction with talk therapy (i.e. CBT, ACT) to help people build resilience and feel better. I believe that with some tailoring and practice, everyone can learn to rewire their brains and make great strides in creating healthier, happier lives.

With an eclectic approach, I include processing of earlier life experiences, expressive arts, EMDR therapy, somatic awareness, mindfulness, humor, and nature as a metaphor, depending on my clients' needs and goals for therapy.
Therapy is an invitation to explore life experiences in a safe and supportive environment; an opportunity to gain insight into what drives your thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. My goal is to help clients liberate stuck consciousness and help them re-member their true selves. I provide a neutral ground to clients and my primary focus is working with individuals who struggle with anxiety, depression and impacts of trauma. I see my clients as the expert in their own lives and therapy as a chance to reconnect with their inner resources, and what gives them purpose and meaning.

One very effective technique especially for trauma is EMDR which helps to work through an issue.
One of the most basic and comforting aspects of therapy is the fact that you will have a partner on your journey. In my office we will sit together as we create a partnership built on trust and mutual concern. We can work to address your concerns. Perhaps you’re struggling with a relationship, either personal or professional. Our work will seek to find solutions to the problem. Some issues require learning how to work through them-like loss. There may be trauma that needs to be released. Also of concern for many are life transitions such as moving, becoming a senior, empty nesting, retirement, etc.

Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
