Have you experienced stress, anxiety, trauma, fear, or some sort of personal struggle? Trying to navigate these delicate situations can be hard alone, and I am passionate about helping individuals navigate the path to healing. If you have tried other methods of talk therapy to no avail, integrating somatic techniques such as EMDR and mindfulness based and trauma informed approaches is something I would love to explore together.

You’re here because you want something to shift. Maybe you’ve been in talk therapy for years, but you’re still struggling with the same triggers: the negative self-talk, the destructive behavior, the relationship conflicts. You can still feel the impact of past trauma in your body. I’ve spent the last decade studying the top evidence-based therapy for trauma because I know that talking is not always enough. Maybe you've heard about about somatic therapy, EMDR or IFS and are curious if they can help. If so, let's talk! I also love doing adjunctive EMDR therapy, if you'd like me to work with your current talk therapist.

I have been using EMDR in my practice for over a decade and am a firm believer in its effectiveness.
We all have the capacity to heal, to change, and to grow. We are more than the circumstances that shaped us. I collaborate with each person, based on their strengths, to understand the context in they developed. Difficulties in life can make us internalize negative beliefs about ourselves; therapy can replace that negativity with awareness of our strengths, abilities, and worthiness.

Using techniques from EFT, EMDR, FLASH, IFS, and Polyvagal Theory, I'll guide you to form a deeper understanding and self-partnership with your emotions.
You're trapped in a relentless cycle that stops you from engaging with the world. Unseen threats keep you tense. Some days, a fog of uncertainty, persistent buzzing, and internal chatter overwhelm you. On others, feelings of detachment render you invisible, even among loved ones, even to yourself. Confusion, self-doubt, and worthlessness weave narratives about yourself and the world that are hard to shake. Beneath is a yearning for clarity, connection, confidence, calm, and safety, likely the reason you are here. This emotional seesaw, a reaction to stress, leads to states often mislabeled as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or addiction.

EMDR Therapists
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.
