My Approach
I am a licensed psychotherapist who specializes in trauma-informed, systemic, and attachment-based therapy. I help people feel more affirmed and grounded in their authentic selves. In my practice, I generally blend a variety of interventions such as person centered, attachment informed EMDR, and various somatic and ego state/parts interventions to support clients in achieving their goals. I believe the therapeutic relationship is an integral piece of healing, and I will do my best to provide a meaningful relationship and safe environment where healing can happen. If you’re struggling with anxiety, family conflict, grief, identity confusion, difficult life circumstances, or chronic stress, I welcome you to connect with me.

Who it’s for
Most people know EMDR as a trauma treatment, but research shows it can also be highly effective in treating numerous other issues.

You may benefit from EMDR if you're experiencing issues such as but not limited to:
​
-
Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
-
Chronic Illness and medical issues
-
Grief and loss
-
Identity Based Trauma
-
Performance anxiety
-
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other trauma-related issues
-
Sexual assault
What it is
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a type of trauma therapy using bilateral stimulation (eye movements or taps most common) to desensitize a traumatic event. Imagine your brain is full of filing cabinets, and every memory you have is stored in files. Some files contain memories typed up in pretty font, perfectly spaced, clean margins, and easy to read and filed away in an organized manner. Sometimes, we may have files that weren't processed effectively and are messily filed away in no organized manner. Those files could be hanging outside the filing cabinet so when we walk by, we may easily hit those files and disrupt our nervous system. EMDR is utilized to pull those messy memories out, reorganize them and file them away appropriately. As a result, you may experience less dysregulation and discomfort.
