Great to meet you!

Welcome! I believe most of our difficulties as humans stem from early life events including feeling neglected, unheard and unseen. I work with adults who are experiencing difficulties adjusting to life events including recent birth trauma, traumatic events, loss and past childhood developmental trauma. My training includes EMDR, Ego State Therapy, and Attachment informed therapy. I use visual imagery, and mind body approaches.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy involves developing self compassion, connecting clients to inner resources and strengths, and when appropriate processing recent and past traumatic events using EMDR if appropriate. I use approaches that connect to healing imagery for child aspects of the self that were wounded in childhood, so that you as the adult can move forward with life in the present.

What you can expect from me

Being a therapist is an honor and privilege. I am excited to guide clients in meeting their inner strength, and help them to realize the possibilities in their lives.
