I specialize in treating grief and trauma, using EMDR in matters of unresolved disturbance. Whether someone suffers physical pain, anxiety, or the inability to sleep due to nightmares or disruptive memories, eye movement desensitization reprocessing can help alleviate the trauma of PTSD to help put the pieces of one’s life together following a disturbing event. Trauma takes many different forms as does healing, and healing disturbance is as individual as the individual him/herself. The best part of working with clients is helping to restore joy and insight to the client’s vision for life.

My ideal client is struggling with accessing the answers to their discontent. They need a safe environment without fear of judgment, an environment that fosters self acceptance and growth. Their goals are to feel significant, valid, contributory, and in control of their thoughts and feelings. They want relief from their discontent in order have personal growth.

Your life is a challenge. I'm here to help you meet that challenge. At our first meeting, expect that you'll feel comfortable in an environment that stress-free with no judgement. If we can't change your perspective, let's try changing your situation. We'll process cycles of emotional and behavioral problems in an effort to lead lives that are happier and more fulfilling. At the end of therapy, our goal is to reduce the impact of previous and on-going negative influences on your life.

Are you open to trying new ways of gaining an understanding of yourself to feel empowered with making positive changes in your life? Each of us have our own unique story in life and at times, we can be challenged with how we deal with the ups and downs of life. Sometimes life events can have an impact on how we relate with others, view the world and ourselves. Sometimes these ups and downs can bring on feelings of sadness, confusion and frustration - when this happens, the expertise of a mental health professional can help.

Let’s do something different! What if we could lighten up in the therapy room? What if playfulness can actually support deep growth? In 30+ years of personal development and therapy experiences, I’ve learned that “talking about it” only goes so far. My clients and I play with all-inclusive, embodied methods to meet ourselves authentically and thoroughly, and to effectively process emotions and subconscious programming.

If you struggle with food, weight, or body image, I'm the therapist for you. I have over twenty years of experience working with eating disorders and anxiety-reduction. I can help you get to the root of self-sabotage so that you can finally have peace with food and your body.
