About me
I am a clinical therapist with close to 20 years of experience. I'm confident treating most adjustment needs but I specialize in alleviating the effects of incidental and chronic trauma, including relational trauma. I am certified in EMDR, a specific modality different from traditional talk therapy.
I'm not the therapist you see in movies. I don't just nod and smile. I'm going to call you out on all the ways you might be limiting yourself; but I'm also going to call you out on all the ways you may not be appreciating and celebrating yourself enough! I know if I’m not real, I can’t expect you to be either; and when you feel safe to be real with me, we can work on how that carries over to the rest of your life. We will unravel the complexities that make you exactly who you are and arrange each piece in a way that you take pride in, at a pace you are comfortable with. Being confident and calm in your body is your birthright! The journey to finding contentment begins with getting curious. I believe, wholeheartedly, in your ability to heal and I'm glad you're here.
