I know choosing a therapist can be a daunting task. My personal style as a clinician is relaxed, conversational, non-judgmental and patient. I understand that you have likely been dealing with your concerns for a long time, and it will take some time to gain insight, healing and resolution. I will listen as you put words to your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I will guide you in attuning to your body to gain more awareness of how emotions manifest themselves for you physically.  As your therapist, I will believe in you and help you realize that you are exactly where you need to be, moving in the direction intended for you. I will offer you a safe, supportive, compassionate space to do the emotional work that you are brave enough to take on.

I think there are many effective approaches to healing and affecting change in our lives. What is best for you is largely determined by who you are, how you are wired and what you are open to. I have seen people’s lives transformed by giving their pain a voice, validating its existence and holding a gentle, tender space for it. You can gain insight into the source of your pain while learning practical ways of managing your emotions in a way that serves you and your needs. 

I am trained in EMDR and Internal Family Systems, specializing in addressing the profound effects of trauma on our lives and relationships. Having personally experienced the transformative impact of trauma, I empathize with its influence on our self-perception and connections with others. My expertise lies in guiding individuals through the navigation of painful and lingering experiences, fostering healing and resolution. I believe that life unfolds its challenges when we are ready to confront them, armed with the tools needed for growth. Cultivating trust in our innate wisdom is paramount; indeed, self-trust is not just an outcome of healing but a catalyst for the healing process. It is a privilege for me to witness and support individuals in their sacred journey of self-discovery and healing.
