About

A wise mentor once explained to me that emotions were (E)nergy in (Motion). And that was all the aha I needed to start developing a therapeutic practice focused on the movement of stuck trauma, unhelpful thoughts and poor relationships through the brain and body to develop healing or what Dr. Bruce Perry calls rhythm. One approach to developing rhythm is EMDR. It is an approach that moves us through stuck trauma as quickly as possible. EMDR creates rhythm by building confidence, clarity, self-compassion, and healthy connection with the self and others.

We will focus on intentional guided breath work and meditation, purposeful focus, and immersion in the five senses. When ready, we will reprocess the traumatic things that happened, shift to be able to identify and hold the true authentic beliefs about ourselves; all the while, continuing to develop the skills needed to create and sustain rhythm.

As a therapist, I am direct but full of curiosity, down-to-earth, and non-judgmental. I will walk alongside you in the therapeutic process. I am dedicated to working with individuals searching for guidance with anxiety, depression, PTSD, burnout/secondary traumatic stress, self-esteem issues, behavioral problems or mood disorders.
