About Me

I am dedicated to facilitating deep and impactful change. I not only treat symptoms but encourage my clients to aim toward more connected and fulfilled lives. I believe that a safe, supportive and truly affirming environment is the beginning. From this place, clients are able to take necessary risks, make changes, enhance connections to self and others, lift or establish boundaries, among other meaningful shifts. I use EMDR and other experiential therapies to explore and align the various dimensions of experience including the cognitive, the affective, the somatic and the behavioral. I take special care to make sure my clients feel safe, seen, and accompanied.
