Making the choice to brave uncertain waters of personal or relational healing is an act of fierce courage.  The courage to show up.  The courage to be seen in all the beautiful, difficult and complex parts of being human.  From my experience as both a therapist and a fellow traveler on the path toward growth, I have had the honor of witnessing the profound power of healing that comes from allowing yourself to be seen in the presence of another.  I have a collaborative and humanistic approach to co-creating an environment where you feel safe, seen and honored. 

 

My work and treatment methods are guided by gold standard modalities that allow us to get curious about conscious, subconscious thoughts or protective systems that are no longer serving you well.  I believe we cannot begin to manage what we cannot mention or face.   As a seasoned therapist, I take an active role in sessions, and have advanced training in Emotion-Focused Therapy for couples and individuals.  I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional level 2 (CCTP-II) and am fully trained in EMDR, a validated approach for trauma and PTSD.  My goal is to help create movement in places that are stuck – places that have become more uncomfortable to live in than to address and change. 

 

Through our journey together, my hope is that you will begin to discover that you are and have always been worthy, good enough and deserving of love.
