Everyone comes to therapy with hopes, strengths,
and a desire to make changes in their lives.

I bring a curious and nonjudgmental approach to understanding your unique experiences and helping you identify ways to reach your goals. When you bring your whole self to therapy and explore what isn’t working, you may develop new understanding, effective strategies, and become more engaged with your authentic self.

I specialize in EMDR therapy. I work from the model that the past gets triggered by present events and situations. We will work on what you would prefer to believe about yourself and reprocess the negatively stored memories that get in the way of progress and change. I offer a safe and welcoming space and I listen carefully with curiosity, compassion, and respect. 

As an EMDR therapist and consultant, I integrate the models of IFS, DBT, and Polyvagal theory to identify ineffective patterns of behavior stemming from anxiety or challenges in relationships and attachment trauma that make it difficult for people to get what they want and need to live more full lives. My therapeutic approach is to assist clients in identifying negative beliefs that are no longer effective in their lives and help them reprocess the associated memories and experiences to a more adaptive sense of self.

Therapy works best when you bring a willingness to stretch and grow with guidance, respectful reflection and challenges when needed.

You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe,
deserve your love and affection.
