Can you imagine a life where your past no longer haunts you? What obstacles could you overcome? What could you achieve? But how do you get there? Since I began to practice psychotherapy in 2014, I've trained in many techniques. Nothing has proven more powerful at resolving internal blocks than EMDR integrated with IFS techniques. Over the years, I've refined my approach to treating PTSD, phobias, and childhood trauma and achieved certification from the highest accrediting body for EMDR therapists, EMDRIA. I want patients to 'graduate therapy' because they see symptom resolution, released from the shadows of their pasts.

Welcome to my reimagined counseling practice--now, purely virtual! Do you feel like a square peg in a round hole? Are you out of touch with who you are and what you really want?

Each of us holds within ourselves tremendous potential and an innate knowing of just what we need. I look at many symptoms as a creative, adaptive response to our environment that should be respected as such. Through positive connection with others, we can learn new ways of relating to our bodies, our spirits, and our world. I use a collaborative approach to treatment, with the belief that without your perspective and input, therapy will not be nearly as beneficial.

Navigating the world as an LGBTQIA+ or gender expansive individual can be challenging, especially as a teen or young adult. Exploring gender/sexuality, while facing homophobia and/or transphobia, can cause significant emotional distress. It can be hard to know how to process and cope with those feelings, or where to turn for help. I hope to provide a safe, affirming environment for adolescents and adults on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum to discuss their unique experiences, and work towards affirmation of their authentic self.
