Great to meet you!

I love helping clients find rapid and lasting relief from anxiety, stress and trauma using EMDR and Brainspotting, methods that many clients who have done years of therapy are delighted to discover give them rapid and lasting relief.

My approach to therapy

I love getting to know my clients--what they are up to in life, what they most want, and help them remove the roadblocks and learn the strategies they need to get them where they want to go. I love helping clients clear trauma and heal wounds that have held them back and watch them find their calm and joy.

What you can expect from me

In the first session I like to get to know my clients and what they are struggling with, what they want, and explore the best way to help them experience relief.
