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 am certified in Emotionally-Focused Couples 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.

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.

FAMILY THERAPY

Family relationships are foundational - they are first places we learn about the safety of emotions and relationships. When those bonds are severed due to life transitions, challenging circumstances, or loss (just to name a few), the entire family system feels the effects. Family therapy focuses on restoring the bond between parents/caregivers and children of all ages.

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 am certified 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.
