About My Clients

Feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Sensitive? Struggling with all the emotions of life or frustrated that you have to deal with them at all? I’m here to help you find power through working with your emotions and understanding your anxiety. My aim is to help you find more peace in your body, confidence in yourself, and more authenticity and choice in your day to day life. If weekly therapy is feeling like you're barely scratching the surface, it might be time for a different kind of session.

My Background and Approach

I am passionate about helping people with trauma of all kinds find healing. I am trained in Attachment-Focused EMDR and enjoy this as my primary modality, which is best-suited for people dealing with Complex PTSD. I offer individual sessions as well as half day intensive therapy programming for those interested in diving deep.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I'm here for celebrating the wins and sitting with you in the losses. I am not afraid of talking about the tough or taboo, and I aim to put my client's at ease so they can process what they truly need to in order to move forward in life in meaningful ways. I think the therapeutic relationship is often the most important part of our work, and I bring my own authentic self to it, so that you can, too.
