About

We all experience emotional pain at times. It arises when we are lacking safety, security, support or a sense that we have the ability to live the life we desire. Sometimes this is short-lived, other times it is significant and has a lasting impact on us, leaving us feeling stuck and triggered no matter what we do. If this is your case, maybe I can help. I have over 18 years experience in evidenced-based, trauma-informed therapies that help treat issues like PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship problems and stress. My goal is to address the root issue so that your time spent in therapy is most transformative and beneficial.

I work collaboratively with you on what you want from therapy. This may be reducing overwhelming emotions, gaining new skills, perspectives or approaches to problems. It may be helping you put the past and its ongoing impacts, behind you. I utilize a combination of therapies: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Ego-state, Attachment-focused and Mindfulness-based approaches.

I believe each client is doing the best they can with where they are. My hope is to help you finally make positive change on issues you have felt stuck with. To help you gain the internal tools and resources so that you may live a safer, more secure, and rewarding life. I look forward to being a part of your path toward healing.
