About My Clients

This morning you woke up and said “I’m tired of feeling this way”.” I’m ready to heal”. “To reconnect with me again”. You find yourself spending most of your time in your head, either replaying negative thoughts or memories, or ruminating on what the future will bring. Somewhere along the line, you started to fuse with your negative beliefs as your truth.

My Background and Approach

As a trauma centered therapist, I believe more often than not, our pain started from somewhere. Nothing is "wrong" with you. My question is, "what happened", "where did this begin". I am a certified EMDR therapist which is a type of therapy that helps us find the root to our pain or negative beliefs and heal the wounds so we can live life more fully in the here and now. I also invite in my education as a yoga teacher into my sessions to help my clients find more peace in their bodies. In addition, I also have a background in working with psychedelic preparation and integration for those who have gone through or plan to go through ketamine treatments or a psychedelic journey. For those who may be appropriate candidates, I also offer Ketamine Assisted EMDR therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am here alongside you on your journey not just as your therapist, but also as a fellow human. I too am on the journey of the human experience and know what it's like to have pain that needs healing. Or to sit with the heaviness of something we cannot change. I do believe that within us all we have the ability to heal our emotional wounds, just as our body has the ability to heal physical wounds. Sometimes we just need someone to walk the journey with us and help guide us back to our "inner healer". That's what I'm here for. I would be honored to be apart of your journey and I can't wait to meet you :)
