About Me
Welcome! I believe therapy should be a warm, supportive space where we don't just manage symptoms—we clear the roadblocks holding you back. As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant-in-Training, I specialize in helping clients use EMDR to process the past and build a future they are genuinely excited to live.
Because every individual is unique, I integrate my high-level expertise in other modalities to enhance the EMDR process. I am a Certified CBT Therapist and Trainer Consultant through the Academy of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I am formally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This allows me to provide you with a robust "toolkit" of stabilizing skills while we do the deep transformative work of EMDR.
Let’s clear the path together. Explore my practice: holding-light.com
