About Me

As an EMDR therapist, I specialize in working with nervous system dysregulation, which can often manifest as anxiety (often rooted in trauma), ruminations, parenting challenges, and the experiences of highly sensitive people. My approach combines EMDR therapy with body-based mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and polyvagal theory and body-based practices to address the root causes of these patterns. I believe that everyone already has the ability to grow and heal within them. My role as a therapist is to help clear the way so that you can tap into your innate wisdom and resilience. By working with the nervous system, I help you break free from stuck patterns, reduce stress, and create lasting healing. I also offer EMDR intensives for those looking to make rapid progress in a focused, immersive way. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions or seeking to improve your relationship with yourself and your loved ones, I provide a safe, supportive space for growth and healing. I also offer consultations for other therapists integrating nervous system-based approaches into their EMDR practice.
