My Ideal Client

If something in your life isn't working the way you want it to, therapy can help you understand why and create meaningful change. You don't have to stay stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. EMDR therapy can help you process what's underneath them. This work goes beyond coping, it creates real, lasting change.

My Background and Approach

I am a Certified EMDR therapist specializing in trauma, anxiety, and depression. EMDR helps your brain process and resolve experiences that feel "stuck", so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity or impact your daily life. I also integrate CBT to support deeper insight, understand patterns, reduce stress, and create lasting shifts in your life.

My Values as a Therapist

I believe that everyone has the capacity towards achieving personal fulfillment, resilience, and authenticity. Together we can identify barriers that are getting in the way and create a space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns. My approach is collaborative, direct, and supportive, helping you gain clarity, process what's unresolved, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Techniques I Use

Specialties

  • EMDR External link

    I am a Certified EMDR therapist, meaning I have completed advanced training and certification in this approach. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps your brain to process and resolve experiences that feel "stuck". Rather than just talking through problems, EMDR helps your nervous system reprocess painful memories so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity. This can lead to reduced distress, shifts in negative beliefs, and a greater sense of clarity and stability.

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) External link

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that helps you identify and change patterns in your thoughts and behaviors that may be contributing to distress. In our work, CBT is used to build awareness, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change in how you respond to challenges in your daily life.
