I am passionate about working with adults (18+) that are struggling with painful life experiences. I provide a safe, accepting environment, using evidence-based modalities for change, and support my clients in the process of healing and becoming the best versions of themselves. My clients are resilient- however, having to be "strong" and in survival mode all the time is exhausting, and it's okay to let your guard down with me. I aim to support my clients in not only surviving, but thriving. My clients achieve a healthier relationship with themselves, others, and the world around them, and a greater sense of self-compassion.
I am EMDR Certified and specialize in trauma. While I have specialized training, I believe that each client is the expert on their life experience. I see us as equals on the same team, and approach each therapeutic relationship from a stance of authenticity and connection. I offer EMDR Intensives in person in addition to online ongoing individual therapy.
I have the utmost respect and admiration for the courage it takes to seek support, and it's so important to find a therapist that is the right fit. Don't hesitate to reach out for a free consultation to learn more about my approach. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. I am wishing you the best on this start of your healing journey!
