I use a variety of evidence based practices including CBT, DBT, and trained in EMDR in May 2022.
My therapeutic motto is, "All feelings are welcome here." Sometimes the things we're feeling are hard to make sense of and talking about those feelings can be hard. Often we can feel as though our providers aren't hearing us or providing us with the space we need. My goal is provide my clients with a nonjudgmental, calm, and safe environment to explore those emotions. I hope to be part of your journey through healing and help you find your truest, best self. I have been fully licensed since 2017 and have experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

I believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy, so I am trained in various evidence-based modalities: EMDR, CBT, CPT, DBT, ACT, and Motivational Interviewing.
Therapy can be weird. It can be uncomfortable to open up to a stranger about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Therapy can also be a space for you to allow yourself to be fully known, fully valued, and more clearly understood. I believe one of the bravest things a person can do is begin to understand their story. I am dedicated to helping people unhook from unhelpful cycles of thinking and behaving by collaboratively exploring and seeking to understand how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can influence one another.

I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques in my approach, I am trained in eye movement desensitization and preprocessing ( EMDR) therapy, and I administer psychological assessments to aid in diagnosis of mental health disorders, such as ADHD.
My ideal client is someone who is interested in making changes, who understands that therapy is a collaborative process, and who is willing to work on themselves both inside and outside of the therapy office. They want to heal from something, learn healthy coping strategies, and embark upon a journey of self-love and self-improvement. The goal is to try to be better than you were yesterday, while learning to be kinder to yourself, understand yourself better, and feel better too. The goal is never to be perfect, but to break down old, unhelpful thinking patterns, resolve internal and external struggles, and grow as a person.

Through proven therapies such as EMDR and CBT, I will help you find the peace that seems so elusive.
Anxiety and worry have become overwhelming, while depression drains the energy and joy from your days. It feels like you’re caught in a relentless storm where every attempt to escape just pulls you deeper. “Is this really all there is?” It’s exhausting trying to keep up appearances, especially when no one seems to understand your struggle. Relationships suffer, and emotions become uncontrollable—anger and tears take over, sleep is restless, and negativity feels relentless and all-consuming. Nothing you’ve tried has helped and nothing is working out. It’s frightening, leaving you feeling helpless and alone.

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.
