I have training in EMDR and Gestalt therapy, and I also often incorporate IFS/parts exploration into my work.
Do you want to feel more security and depth in your relationships? To feel more confident expressing yourself, creating boundaries, and living life in an authentic, brave, and embodied way? I believe that therapy can be a transformative process when a relationship of trust and attuned listening is cultivated. We can work towards self-awareness, self-compassion, and embracing the imperfections and vulnerabilities that make relationships the most meaningful stuff of life. I specialize in supporting teens and adults with life transitions, family/relational issues, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma.

I utilize an integrative model, drawing from relational, psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, EMDR, and attachment based approaches.
Many find themselves at a point in their lives where external support is necessary to navigate life's challenges. My clients seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Some may come to therapy to deal with a specific struggle, such as anxiety or depression, while others initiate therapy during a difficult life transition. Even positive transitions, such as getting a new job or starting a new relationship can be stressful. Together, we will merge our resources to address these challenges in a safe environment by exploring patterns, processing events from the past, and creating plans for change in the future.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and inner child work.
Developing a relationship with a compassionate, skilled therapist who can help you be present with current life stressors or past traumas, can be an important part of healing. In my practice I work with adults and adolescents with a variety of issues but specialize in issues related to sexual trauma (childhood or adult), childhood emotional/physical abuse, domestic violence, lack of parental attunement, and growing up in a home where alcohol and drugs were abused. I also work with couples who are experiencing challenges in communication, connection and how past trauma effects this. I provide clinical supervision to therapists.

Many of my patients have been helped to heal from anxiety and troubling experiences through EMDR or Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
Are you ready to move beyond simply "coping?" Counseling may increase your ability to relax and experience peace, help you learn to better understand yourself and others, and remove inner obstacles to realizing your dreams. It may improve your ability to build the kind of relationships you want, strengthen your ability to grow through loss, and support you as you rebuild your life after loss. I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions, including telehealth sessions for residents of 38 PSYPACT states and Washington, DC. To find out if your state participates in PSYPACT, visit www.psypact.org/mpage/psypactmap.

I use EFT, Cognitive- Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Mindfulness and several other modalities to assist in the healing process.
If you are here, you are ready to heal. Depression and anxiety have made you question your worth. Childhood trauma has made you believe you are not lovable. Your familial and romantic relationships expose the emotional storms you weather that move you to put up walls to keep out pain. You and your partner are constantly fighting, and you no longer feel like a couple. I can help. As a Certified Natural Health Professional, I take a holistic approach to healing as I help people examine their Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual selves. I also assist in teaching others how food choices, herbs, exercise and thoughts influence overall mood.

You’re working hard, wanting a good life, but you find yourself feeling anxious, dissatisfied and unfulfilled. Perhaps you’re unhappy at work - feeling overwhelmed and burned out, with no end in sight or path forward to greater satisfaction. Or perhaps you are struggling with strong emotions, feeling anxious and depressed, having conflict in your important relationships, or feeling lonely and disconnected. And so many of us are experiencing major life transition - getting divorced, having children, starting a new job, becoming an empty nester, or retiring from a career.

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.
