Regardless of our circumstances, we are all capable of healing. I know this because I have experienced it myself and because I accompany people in untenable conditions deepen awareness about their patterns and access the agency, choice and community necessary to change. Therapy helps you “heal backwards” to your wise and powerful core self and create a strong internal foundation from which to navigate difficulty and allow in a wider range of feelings.

I see my role as a therapist as a guide, witness, and collaborator as people integrate all parts of themselves and their histories. You can learn more about my approach and focus here.

Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful tool for trauma healing, including single incident traumas or recurring attachment traumas. In EMDR, we target specific disturbing memories—memories that continue to impact you through reactivation of your survival system (fight, flight, freeze, or appease)—and engage in various EMDR protocols that support your brain and nervous system to properly store these memories in the past.

I offer EMDR as part of my work with individuals, as well as through adjunctive therapy (i.e. you have a regular talk therapist and see me for EMDR). EMDR is an evidence-based treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and there is plenty of research to support its use. 

Our most intimate relationships offer us opportunities to heal many of the attachment wounds we experienced or inherited, but this healing takes intention and commitment! I support people in various intimate relationship formations (couples, friends, siblings) to understand attachment patterns, increase effective communication, repair trust and connection after harm occurs, resolve conflict, support one another’s healing, and consciously end relationships.

I love to work with LGBTQI+ people, families, and couples and couples navigating racial, economic and cultural differences.
