About Me

I view therapy as a collaborative experience and aim to provide holistic care that appreciates your unique, multiple, intersecting layers of identity and experience. We live in a wonderful but difficult world where most of us have encountered experiences or relationships that can leave us feeling empty, alone, angry, and scared. We develop protective mechanisms and coping strategies that help us adapt to our challenges and survive, but we may still feel stuck even after the dust settles. In therapy, I enjoy teaching clients about the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual effects of trauma and helping them to understand their whole, embodied self in the ongoing healing process. I draw on a number of therapeutic modalities including parts work, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), mindfulness, attachment repair, and psychodynamic interventions. I also offer EMDR intensives for clients interested in short-term therapy to target specific traumas and treatment goals. Perhaps you’ve already done the work to understand your triggers and have developed tools to help you regulate, but you still feel stuck. EMDR is proven to help the nervous system renegotiate how a trauma was originally processed, make sense of your experience, and move the stuck distress into your long-term memory instead of feeling so present. A standard 50 minute session can sometimes feel limiting to how much you want to accomplish in therapy, but these intensives can help jumpstart a stalled process. By offering longer sessions (typically 90-120 minutes) and meeting twice a week, this intensive model can help you get to the root of what is stuck and find relief faster.
