I absolutely love being a therapist.

I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and practice through an attachment based and Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) lens. EMDR has become well known as an effective trauma therapy, but research and practice shows it’s an effective method for addressing many of the issues that bring clients to therapy—anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, childhood attachment wounds, perfectionism, shame, and burnout. I have extensive specialty training in using EMDR to addressing trauma associated with pregnancy and childbirth, attachment ruptures, and the deep, sometimes amorphous “something’s not quite right but I’m not sure exactly what it is” feelings that often drive people to seek therapy. EMDR is not just eye movements; it’s a framework for understanding why we get stuck and identifying the individual’s path to healing. In addition to EMDR, I’m trained and experienced in Brainspotting, a newer modality shown to support deep healing, and Ego-State Therapy. I use all three, often together, to best support your path to healing and growth.

My passion is in relational, longer-term therapeutic work practiced away from the medical model. The therapeutic relationship is priority and the foundation that allows all the interventions and methods to support healing.

Personally, I have two young children, play ice hockey, ride my road bike when I can, grow too many flowers and still fall into the trap of thinking it’s a good idea to cut my own bangs five minutes before I need to head out the door.

I look forward to connecting with you.
