I also specialize in EMDR.
Weeknights Available. Are you seeking personal growth, healing, and lasting change?

Shame, anxiety, self-sabotage, and depression are often huge blocks in our lives. I work with individuals to cultivate a deep self-acceptance and self-connection so they may show up fully in their lives: empowered, balanced, calm, and standing in their truth. I offer a safe therapeutic space to illuminate the pathway to authenticity and healing. I also offer a deep understanding of emotional and narcissistic abuse.

My tailored approach incorporates techniques like Internal Family Systems, EMDR, play therapy, sand tray therapy, art, movement and humor to create a safe, engaging space for authentic self-expression.
If you’re reading this, you’re likely experiencing a tough time in life. I want to be there to make sure you don’t have to go through it alone. My approach focuses on guiding clients to confront and understand the difficult parts of themselves rather than trying to eliminate them. Whether dealing with trauma, marital conflict, or a child’s challenging behavior, I believe that meaningful change comes from learning to work with these 'difficult' parts. Every aspect of ourselves has a purpose, even if it no longer serves us. There is no such thing as a bad part of us. Together, we can explore these aspects to foster healing and growth.

I enjoy using EMDR therapy to help clients process trauma and negative beliefs about themselves.
I came from a family who believed worry and anxiety was a primary love language and they used unhealthy coping skills including drugs, alcohol, and gambling. I know first-hand that it is difficult to break family patterns and it is not a one-time fix. I understand how mental illness and addiction impact the whole family. I myself was well into my adulthood before I realized that just because I was not abusing drugs and alcohol, I was caught in the insanity by trying to control those family members who were as well as those who I thought were enabling. I went to therapy and learned how to set and maintain healthy boundaries.

I focus on solutions, action, and change; I also offer EMDR therapy.
Everyone needs somebody to lean on. But what happens when the pressure is too much or goes unnoticed? I see it, I acknowledge the weight and sacrifice. A lot of the time, I believe, humans just need a little validation; a reminder that they matter and their efforts mean something. I've seen that the people with the biggest hearts suffer the most, out of protection for others and unfortunately put their quality of life on the backburner. I remind my clients of the beauty of their own heart, their innate potential, and the power of self worth. We have one life to live, why not truly live it.

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.
