Great to meet you!

Do you feel constant pressure to perform and no matter how much you do in a given day, it feels like it’s never enough? The anxiety in your body and mind feels so crippling, that it’s nearly impossible to relax?

I’m here to say, you are not alone and we can process this performance anxiety and perfectionism today. My heart and passion as a psychotherapist has been the treatment of trauma especially those who have been impacted by small T traumas. I specialize in EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.

My approach to therapy

I allow my client's internal system to feel safe and comfortable before diving into deeper work. I then have a more direct approach as treatment progresses.

What you can expect from me

Clients will have the ability to create their treatment goals as I hold true to the statement: " Client's know themselves best." I will collaboratively work alongside clients and support them through the healing journey.
