Great to meet you!

I'll help you get unstuck from past traumas, distorted thought patterns, ineffective behaviors and unfulfilling relationships. I'm a seasoned clinician with over 20 years of experience. I aim to create a safe space for you to explore your feelings, make sense of your experiences, heal from trauma and learn tools to manage life's challenges more effectively. I am an advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion for all. LGBTQIA+ affirming.

In person availabile on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Telehealth available Monday through Friday

My approach to therapy

Curious about the most effective treatment I've seen in my career? It's Accelerated Resolution Therapy. ART is an eye-movement protocol that doesn't require disclosing details of the adverse event. Your brain reprocesses memories to reduce their emotional and physical impact. ART provides long-term relief by addressing root causes of distress. Like EMDR but faster: single-incident events are often resolved in 1-2 sessions. More chronic or complicated issues usually resolve within 5 sessions.

What you can expect from me

First we'll build rapport and trust as you share important information about yourself and your goals. I strive to help you find a balance between acceptance and change- to accept yourself as you are while also recognizing where growth is needed. Over time, we'll work on developing self-compassion (treating oneself with kindness, understanding and acceptance). You'll also develop skills for managing uncomfortable emotions, communicating assertively and setting boundaries.
