I like to approach my work with compassion, humor, and authenticity. I work with individuals seeking to recover and grow beyond adverse or challenging life experiences, or who simply want to cultivate a healthy inner life, and I have a special interest in treating anxiety and trauma. I believe that compassionate illumination is what opens the door to transformation, belonging, and interior freedom. So, an important component of my practice is creating a space where people feel safe to open up about hard things. Whatever you're carrying, I'd love to journey with you.
The primary therapeutic approaches I use (EMDR and IFS) cultivate real brain change by resolving painful past experiences, increasing attunement to the present moment, and expanding capacity for joy, gratitude, and connection with others. Cultivating wholesome mental habits is a key element of my counseling approach.
Being a good fit is important, and I offer a free 30 minute consultation so that you can test things out first without commitment. When you're ready, I would love to hear from you! NOTE: PLEASE check your spam folder if you have not heard back from me within 3 working days. I am typically very prompt with email communication!
