Do you feel like you have the insight but don’t quite know what to do with it- how to process it or heal? You are not alone. I help individuals and couples move beyond the surface to work through what is keeping them stuck. I use IFS, EMDR and other modalities to connect you to your wounds, unprocessed memories, and blocks. Together, we set to discover the parts of you that hold pain and unlock your full potential by exploring what is holding you back. Couples: If it feels like you’re speaking different languages or having the same argument over and over, you may be stuck in a negative cycle that’s hard to see from the inside. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), rooted in attachment theory, to help partners reconnect, communicate vulnerably, and rebuild. Oftentimes, what stands in our way is fear—because we have a deeply rooted need to feel safe. I understand. It’s much easier to stay in something comfortable than to risk the unknown; our minds and bodies are wired that way. My hope is to reflect your strength and worth, and to provide a safe, trusting space where you can feel seen, heard, and valued.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine if we're a good fit. We’ll start by reviewing the logistics of therapy and establishing informed consent. Then, I’ll invite you to share what brings you to therapy and what goals you hope to achieve. I believe that meaningful change is built on a strong therapeutic relationship, so it's important that you feel confident in my ability to support you and that your needs align with my areas of expertise.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize a range of evidence-based approaches to support your growth and healing. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process and alleviate the emotional weight of past traumatic experiences. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on strengthening emotional connections and communication within your relationships. I also utilize IFS (Internal Family Systems), which is helpful to heal complex PTSD. Together, these therapies provide a holistic toolkit for addressing a variety of challenges and promoting mental and emotional wellness.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I show up to sessions as my authentic self, so you feel supported to do the same. I think that therapy works best when a client can feel a genuine connection and know that the session is tailored to them individually. I strongly believe in reducing the stigma of mental health treatment, and I don't subscribe to the idea of “normal”. We all have "issues and problems". That's what makes us human! With this in mind, I try to make all of my clients feel immensely understood and accepted on a visceral level.
