— Offering EMDR Intensives! Perfect for if you're short on time but need relief. Did you know there is a formula to these profiles? I’m supposed to try to “hook” you in. The problem is, the clients I love to work with hate that kind of gimmick. If you’re like my clients, you don’t want to be sold to– you crave genuine connection. You want to be truly seen. That’s what I offer: a place where you don’t have to pretend to be perfect anymore, a therapeutic relationship where you are prioritized, and the feeling of finally being able to breathe again. No matter where you are in life, it's never too late to live wholeheartedly.

My clients often seek therapy for help with loneliness/emotional disconnection from others, relationship/dating anxiety, or relational distress because of personal identity changes. I strive to help my clients gain insight into the dynamics in their life that contribute to feelings of fear and sadness. I also help clients move away from avoidant ways of dealing with stress in their lives and toward strategies that increase self-esteem and provide their lives with meaning.

I will collaborate with you so you can create a purposeful, satisfying, and meaningful life by dropping this struggle and learning to whole-heartedly pursue what matters most to you with flexibility and commitment.

The healing process of therapy can reduce suffering & facilitate further discovery of one's authentic self.
