ARE YOU SEEKING CHANGE FOR YOURSELF OR IN A RELATIONSHIP?
I practice from an attachment focused, culturally-informed perspective and strive to help you build on the strengths you already possess and bring to the relationships in your life. I have advanced training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy and closely examine the ways in which culture and developmental history impact the relationships in your life. I am also a certified EMDR therapist and integrate that model in my practice with the goal of re-establishing a felt sense of safety in the body after both acute and chronic/complex experiences of trauma.
I believe that healing happens from a place of compassion and validation; that belief guides my practice and approach to building client relationships. I also believe in humor and showing up as a real human in the room with you.
WHY THERAPY?
Making changes is challenging, and it's not something any of us can do alone. Together, we will create a safe space for you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, build on your strengths, heal, and work toward your hopes for the future. When we heal ourselves, we give that gift not only to ourselves but also to those we love.
The decision to pursue therapy is courageous and I respect that you are considering this journey - it's not easy, but it will be worthwhile. I'd love to schedule a consultation to see if this therapy relationship is the right one to help you reach your goals.

MY SERVICES



RELATIONSHIP AND COUPLES THERAPY
Humans are wired for connection, and it's devastating when we feel disconnected from the person/people we love the most. Relationship and couples therapy focuses on understanding and shifting those cycles we get stuck in so we can experience the connection we long for.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
When we heal ourselves, we give that gift not only to ourselves but also to those we love. I have significant experience working with people who have experienced interpersonal/attachment trauma and ongoing stress, and the ways in which that impacts our relationship with self and others.
SPECIALIZED TRAUMA THERAPY
When we have experiences that overwhelm our ability to cope, or experience "too much, too fast," our bodies may be left on high-alert. I have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is highly effective in helping the body move through and heal from traumatic experiences in a gentle, compassionate way.
