I'm trained as a relational psychoanalyst and am also a certified EMDR practitioner.
I have over 30 years of experience working with adults, children and families, and an ongoing passion and engagement in the art of psychotherapy. When the fit is right, a good therapeutic relationship can provide a powerful vehicle for healing and transformation. I think for therapy to really gel, you need to feel that your therapist gets you, perhaps in a way few others have. Adults I work with often tell me they have that experience with me, that they feel fully seen and understood. My work with children began in my earliest days as a therapist - and it continues to be a central part of my practice.

I draw from a variety of modalities in my practice, though have a particular grounding focus on EMDR therapy, a somatic therapy for the treatment of trauma in its many manifestations.
I practice therapy because I believe in the human capacity for liberation and healing, and our ability to empower each other and collectively improve our lives. I don't know what living a life that you love and value would look like for you, but I'm excited to find out together. I've primarily worked with people with serious trauma histories. I’m especially experienced in working with LGBTQIA+ folks, and with the kink and poly/ENM communities. I know how important it is to not only be affirmed in your identities, but understood as someone connected to the larger world.

I am trained in CBT, Motivational Interviewing and EMDR, along with various treatment interventions around trauma.
First off, congratulations on taking the step on this journey. I'm super excited that you have chosen to be on this journey and look forward to this adventure together, if you choose me as your therapist. :) A little bit about me: I am a social worker with background in substance abuse and mental health. I really enjoy meeting with clients and working towards their "aha moments". Therapy is a safe space to grow and "let down your hair" so to speak. I never want our time to be a power struggle/dynamic but rather a place where you can speak your mind and not feel judged. Trust me, I can be pretty quirky too.

I also offer EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), a technique that helps disarm negative thoughts and get you unstuck.
If you experience overwhelming anxiety loops, feel the weight of grief, or are impacted by trauma - I might be a good fit for you. I can help by pointing out patterns or themes that I notice, explore how and why the brain is wired the way it is, and help you build up armor to face whatever life throws at you. A typical session with me includes talking, cursing, crying, laughing, questioning, and a whole lot of compassion.

I'm well-versed in trauma and, if appropriate, weave EMDR into the talk therapy work we do together.
Life can throw a lot our way and sometimes it's hard to know where to turn. That's where counseling comes in. Here, whatever ails you is welcome. If you have specific issues you want to address, we can work on navigating them. If you're confused, feeling directionless or unsure, we can build a space where you feel safe to sit with your emotions, gain clarity, and process together. Maybe you don't have a specific problem but you could use someone to listen without judgment; no matter the reason you're here you've come to the right place.

Many people are happy with their current talk therapist but are also interested to learn how EMDR may be used to help in processing traumatic events in context of their ongoing therapy relationship.
I am most well suited to help people working through life transitions, difficult relationships, trauma and anxiety. I also find I work particularly well with people drawn to visual imagery and other nonverbal experience. While verbal expression is essential, we all also carry internal images, physiological and emotional expressions that can stretch well beyond words. I find working efficiently with these nonverbal elements can generate deeper connections and expand therapeutic potentials in very effective ways. What kinds images come to mind when you think about your life experience? What kinds of sounds and smells?
