About My Clients
Are you feeling worried, overwhelmed and exhausted? I understand that your anxiety, trauma or the challenges of a difficult relationship cause you to feel out of control and hopeless. Anxiety makes you feel sick and drained of energy because of the mind-body connection. You overthink, are unable to make decisions and believe that you are not good enough. You want to find a therapist who understands, so you safe and supported through this process. It's okay if you're not sure where to start.
My Background and Approach
I am certified in EMDR and trained in DBT and Somatic skills. An interesting fact about my career is that Dr. Francine Shapiro, the developer of EMDR, was my level 2 trainer in 1999. My client-centered focus blends your unique strengths with these evidence-based treatments. In our work together you will learn effective ways to change your unwanted thoughts, negative emotions and self-defeating behaviors. You can move forward from chaos feeling emotionally regulated, calmer and confident in your life.
