I specialize in EMDR therapy, helping people find relief from trauma, anxiety, and performance-based stress. My passion is working with professionals, athletes, and high achievers who feel stuck due to mental blocks. Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, anxiety, or challenges like Loss of Movement Syndrome (the yips), I offer a supportive and results-driven space where you can heal and thrive. My approach is rooted in evidence-based practices, blending EMDR with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy to address both immediate challenges and deeper emotional patterns. For clients seeking personal growth and enhanced performance, I also integrate Transformational EMDR, a method designed to unlock your full potential and help you excel in all aspects of life. Clients often appreciate how I balance structure with empathy, creating a space where you can process your past and achieve meaningful, lasting change.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

When we start our journey together, my priority is to create a space where you feel at ease, even in a virtual setting. Starting therapy can feel uncertain, but I focus on helping you feel comfortable to be yourself and share what’s on your mind without pressure. Our First Session: + Getting to Know You: We’ll begin with a conversation about your goals, challenges, and reasons for seeking therapy. Whether you share a little or a lot, I’ll meet you where you are. + Clarifying Your Goals: Together, we’ll explore what you want to achieve through therapy. If you’re unsure, that’s okay—part of the process is figuring that out as we work together. + Therapeutic Approaches: I’ll explain the methods we might use—from EMDR to CBT and ACT—and how these techniques can help you heal and grow. Even though our sessions are virtual, I’ve worked hard to ensure that the therapeutic connection remains as impactful as in-person therapy. You’ll leave each session with actionable insights and tools to move closer to your goals.
