Hello and welcome! I am thrilled and so glad you’ve arrived—this is a safe space for you to be seen, heard, and supported! My work is rooted in care that is inclusive and affirming of all identities. I am proudly supportive of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, human rights, equity, and belonging. While I identify as agnostic, I welcome and respect all religious and spiritual backgrounds. Your beliefs, identity, and lived experiences are respected here. Let’s turn this corner of your journey into a place of growth, healing, and maybe a little fun too!
I value using EMDR as an empowering approach that I hope will help prospective clients move through anxiety, perfectionism, phobias, trauma, and women’s issues.I am continually honored to accompany clients in this work. I enjoy using EMDR because I see how it can help people not only feel relief, but also rediscover confidence and emotional freedom.
Many clients come to therapy feeling like they “should” be able to manage on their own, especially those who have learned to be high-achieving, caring, or emotionally self-sufficient. EMDR offers a gentle invitation to soften those expectations and allow the body and mind to work together in healing.
