Clients I Work With

I help teens and adults who feel stuck in negative patterns or weighed down by past experiences. I provide trauma informed care using a combination of talk therapy and EMDR to help clients become unstuck. If you have tried talk therapy, but feel like progress has stalled or continue to run into the same emotional and relationship struggles. It might be time to try something new and I would love to support you.

Approach

My approach is first and foremost about connection and relationship. I heard life described once as “brutifal” (a combination of beautiful and brutal). This is such an accurate description. We all face “Big T” and “Little T” traumas, and both can have a massive impact on our relationships and quality of life. Whether that is raising a difficult child, dealing with daily anxiety or depression or past events that continue to affect us, we all have our own version of “brutal”. But we don’t have to remain stuck in the hard. My goal is to support you and find the beauty in your life. We all get to live this brutal and beautiful life once and it is so much easier when you have a partner along for the ride.

More About My Practice

EMDR is an evidence space modality used to treat trauma and PTSD as well as negative patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck. EMDR can be done in a weekly format and can also be effective in a concentrated and accelerated format called Intensives. These can be done in conjunction with weekly therapy or as a standalone treatment.
