I am a psychotherapist specializing in the treatment of complex trauma and PTSD. I believe in creating a relatable and safe space to work through the toughest parts of our past. While some trauma is overt, such as PTSD, other traumas can be hidden behind depression or anxiety. Emotional traumas can even arise from being raised by parents or guardians with personality disorders. I have over 10 years of experience using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic interventions to address various forms of trauma.

I am EMDR certified and specialize in attachment based EMDR therapy, which can address distress (past or present); chronic stress, and feeling like you are "stuck" on the same issue in therapy.
When many people begin therapy, they don't know where to start. The people I work with often are going through a tough transition, struggling with feelings of anxiety or depression, or they have had something really distressing happen to them recently or in the past. Often, they may be noticing patterns of avoidance or conflict in their relationships due to these issues. They may also be struggling with feelings of low-self worth, negative self-talk, or feeling hopeless/helpless. I am here to help bring relief to these symptoms and help people heal.

We’ve all been there, lying awake because our brain keeps running through that thing that happened 6 months ago, not quite able to find the solution that would allow us to just roll over and get enough rest to wake up and do it all over again. When your brain constantly worries about the future or gets stuck in reflections about the past, it's hard to enjoy (or even really notice) what’s happening right now. Whether a single event or a series of distressing or confusing moments, trauma changes our ability to cope and makes daily stress harder to handle, causes feelings of anxiety and sadness, and messes with relationships.

I am currently building a thriving practice of couples and families that are seeking relief and understanding, and the work I am doing is centered around finding belonging and safety in the spaces and relationships we occupy. The couples I work with are navigating life transitions, evaluating the state of and investment in their relationship, or are considering moving toward mutual separation and transition to a co-parenting relationship. With families my work has involved improving communication within families separated by physical distance, generational healing, and increasing connection following loss.

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.
