I am passionate about helping clients recognize and heal from their trauma and stressors by strengthening their mind-body connection. I work with clients who want to learn to love and appreciate the body they are in and free themselves from the impacts of trauma. I believe in meeting clients where they are at, meaning we will only work on goals that the client feels ready for. Therapy is a partnership, where clients and clinicians should be putting in equal work. Whether it is dealing with a difficult relationship, new life transitions, or forms of trauma, I will encourage my client to play an active role in their own healing.

I'm a certified EMDR therapist through EMDRIA. I work from an attachment based and needs approach addressing areas of struggles that stem from childhood and how they impact present relationships with others and one's self. Being more present in one's experiences through increased insight and awareness is a common goal for my clients. A colleague and I also provide group EMDR (via private pay) for those who have undergone recent traumatic experiences or life changing events with on-going consequences.

Families are complicated. Rearranging your family can be a tough road without someone to help guide you. I have been lucky enough to work with families who are navigating these issues for two decades. I am honored to share my knowledge and experiences with parents and families as they begin the process of reorganizing and redefining roles within the family while focusing on the best interests of their children. No parent is perfect - especially me! - but through the safety of the therapeutic relationship we can navigate these changes and help your family thrive.
