Great to meet you!

I am dedicated to helping people become emancipated from their past, fears, and the things that don't serve us anymore.

My approach to therapy

I use EMDR. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing uses your own ability to heal and move on from the things that anchor us in the past. First, we deconstruct your story and the events that are causing you to feel stuck in the past or unable to move forward. Then, we learn techniques to deal with the more intense physical sensations that will be most effective for you. Through our work together, you’ll shed the ineffective tools you used for more beneficial and rewarding experiences.

What you can expect from me

Working together to overcome any obstacle is always better than having to face it alone. Please allow me to guide you and provide you with strength to overcome any of life's challenges by providing you with coping skills and resources that will aid you now and in the future.
