You’re tired of patterns that keep showing up in your relationships—whether you’re struggling to stay connected, set boundaries, or make sense of how your past shows up in the present. Maybe you’re navigating life with someone who’s intense, reactive, shut down, or maybe that someone is you. You’re trying your best, but it all still lives in your nervous system. You want support that’s attuned to your history, grounded in science, and fiercely committed to your growth, and healing.

I am trained by a Master Trainer in ART who then developed an even more efficient and effective treatment called Focused/Rapid Trauma Processing that uses EMDR techniques, Bilateral Stimulation, and memory reconsolidation. Many of my clients experience total healing, from a 10 to a 0, in as little as one session.
Deeply trained in attachment theory, styles, therapy, ideal parent visualization, and more.

Getting the Love you Want. We step on each other's unhealed wounds and will continue to do so until we heal ourselves and understand our partner's dysregulated reactions.
Mindfulness techniques, grounding exercises, somatic and poly-vagal approaches; understanding the dsyregulation cycle of the brain and nervous system, and developing your own quick response self-regulation-skills is key to staying on your healing journey's path.

I am certified in Rapid Trauma Processing / Memory Reconsolidation (EMDR v.3.0, similar to Accelerated Resolution Therapy) and this has been proven through research and in my own practice to heal traumatic memories (from a 10 to a 0) in 1-2 sessions. The best part? You don't have to talk about what you are processing! It's like a guided meditation that rewires your subconcious mind and nervous system for greater regulation.
I am an Advanced Trainer in the Nurtured Heart Approach — one of the simplest and most transformative relational approaches. I credit it with saving my teen daughter's life and transforming our home. I "tried everything" with my ND kid, and everything I tried helped me, but didn't move the needle with my kid, until I found NHA. I lead groups and serve on the Board. This approach significantly reduces family/relational conflict, including ADHA and ODD.
I am All But Dissertation (half finished) with my doctoral in International Feminist Studies with a focus on 2/3 world women and post-colonialism.
With an Imago focus, along with training in EFT and Gottman, I also apply the Nurtured Heart Approach, as well as Relationship Agreements (CNM). I genuinely love working with couples and helping them find breakthroughs, healing, and transformation.
Interestingly enough, my education and training in Women's Issues eventually led me to more fully explore and understand men's issues through the lens of Male Initiation, toxic masculinity, and Jungian shadow work. I work with a lot of men who are seeing a therapist for the first time or the umpteenth time.
