About Me
Sometimes we get stuck in painful experiences when our normal ways of coping are overwhelmed. With the right support there is potential to transform suffering into compassion, calm, and creativity. The focus of my work is to help my clients restore connection with their core self, where they can rediscover their innate wisdom. Over the years, my clients have shown me that working through life's challenges can be an opportunity to courageously grow. I specialize in working with adults whose childhood experiences are impacting their ability to reach their full potential. I can work with you to foster mindfulness and self-compassion, evoke curiosity and self-understanding, support you with ways to feel more in control of your life, and provide tools to improve communication. With over 15 years of experience, I have extensive training in approaches that work well with trauma and complex issues. I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Approved Consultant, IFS Therapist, and also offer Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. My practice is multiculturally and LGBTQ inclusive. If you are an EMDR Therapist seeking consultation towards EMDR Certification, please feel free to reach out.
