EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
I love helping people find their way, whether through traumatic experiences from the past or through current life stressors. For adolescents and adults who have experienced emotional trauma, I utilize trauma-focused approaches, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). There are a variety of approaches to therapy and together, we will explore which would be most beneficial to you as the client. I find that most people really enjoy the therapeutic experience and come out of it more self-assured and confident.

I help my clients understand and manage relationships and anxiety -- in both their personal and professional life. Many of those I work with find that my down to earth manner and focus on finding solutions is just what they need to move forward. Individuals (children, adolescents and adults), couples, and families often feel relieved to know they can learn the skills to be successful and improve their relationships.

I use EMDR and other modes of treatment such as CBT, DBT, and traditional talk therapy.
I understand, it is a big step to reach out for help if you are in pain. While most of us tend to hunker down when feeling overwhelmed and out of control that is actually the best time to seek support. If you suffer from anxiety, depression, relationship issues, addiction, or other challenges I can help. I enjoy most working with clients seeking changes that help them overcome distress, feel good, and reach their goals. Reach out for your free 15 minute consultation to find out how I can assist you and if I am the right therapist for you.

I am certified in EMDR, a highly-researched modality for treating trauma.
If you are looking for a grief and trauma specialist, I'm here for you.

I also work with those who have experienced childhood harm or neglect. I offer a compassionate space and specialized therapeutic tools to address the hard stuff.
I do this through a holistic approach, combining structure and nurture and integrating various modalities, such as Psychodynamic Therapy, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing ( EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), and NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM).
It’s not easy to ask for help, so I thank you for taking the courageous first step of exploring therapists here on Psychology Today. I encourage you to look at my website for more information, but, in summary, my goal as a therapist is not to give you the answers - who am I to believe I have all the answers?! Instead, my goal is to help you discover the answers you have within. I'm also not one to skirt around the issues. With compassion and understanding, I aim to confront the issues head-on, working with you to face the difficulties that are so often, more easily, avoided.

While I am trained in EMDR, I'm not a one-size-fits-all therapist, but rather someone who gets that no one exactly like you has ever lived before and you need and deserve an approach that reflects that.
I work primarily with young adults and find myself connecting strongly to those who are extra hard on themselves. This may include individuals grappling with challenges such as feelings of depression and/or anxiety, tendencies towards people-pleasing and/or perfectionism, and self-critical beliefs. I also work with a select number of teens. Additionally, many of my client's are seeking a better understanding of why they feel the way they do and who are searching for further insight into who they are in this often chaotic world.

I specialize in EMDR therapy for processing trauma (recent or past) and current triggers.
*Now taking new clients - January 2022* Trauma, whether recent or past, abrupt or occurring over a long time, can disrupt your life in significant ways. It can be scary to begin the process of change - who will you be when things are different? I know from personal experience what trauma can do and how therapy can change the trajectory of your life. I'm dedicated to offering compassionate and effective therapies for trauma and the grief that so often accompanies it to those who require a competent and supportive therapist to provide immediate support and understanding.

I also work with clients who have experienced trauma and are wanting to try EMDR.
My ideal client is self-motivated and curious about their socioemotional growth. They may present with a wide range of issues, but they're looking for someone to meet them where they are and approach growth at a pace that feels right for them. They are open to trying multiple approaches if needed to find the best fit.

I draw from formal training in EMDR, dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal process therapy, interpersonal neurobiology, and Gottman method couples' therapy.
I have 10 years' clinical experience providing individual and couples therapy to adults. Every step we take has its mirror in the brain; in therapy you have a chance to re-write important parts of your story and support to move in new directions. I have extensive experience as a generalist mental health provider, working with anxiety, depression, major life changes, and relationship struggles. My clinical work has specialized in the LGBTQ+ community and I am comfortable with diverse sexual, gender, and relationship presentations.
