Great to meet you!

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) trained in EMDR, Internal family systems therapy (IFS), as well as somatic experiencing and mindfulness based stress reduction. I am dedicated to a curious and explorative approach in order to provide a space that allows for deep and transformative change in areas that a client may feel stuck in unwanted behavioral patterns and or maladaptive core beliefs. I utilize specific therapy models such as EMDR and IFS to facilitate this process in a structured and safe container. If this resonates with you it would be an honor to be with you on your journey of self exploration and internal change. Feel free to reach out with any questions or schedule a consult.

My approach to therapy

I utilize specific therapy models such as EMDR and IFS to facilitate self exploration, internal shifts, and most of all self compassion in a structured and safe container. In order to do this I provide direct feedback through the lens of curiosity, compassion and truth. I utilize a combination of free exploration and a structured approach to bring focus and openness to the parts of ourselves that need both space and opportunity to release. If this resonates with you it would be an honor to be with you on your journey of self exploration and internal change. Feel free to reach out with any questions or schedule a consult.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will focus primarily on building rapport and establishing an initial connection. We may also find time to gain insight into your goals, past experiences, and current areas of your life that may feel like barriers to gaining access to true self-energy. I aim to establish connection as a first step and follow with defining some areas to work on in future sessions. Ideally, this comes organically from your own insight and grows in clarity as we establish more safety in our therapeutic relationship.
