About me

You’ve done what you know to do, exhausted your coping skills, and still find that anxiety, trauma, or difficult relationships are keeping you from the quality of life you know (or at least hope) is possible. It may be that it becomes too uncomfortable in your body to make the changes you’d like to or that you’ve lost sight of what you even want. I can help you find relief. Even if your challenges are creative or social in nature: stage fright, audition anxiety, writer’s block, public speaking dread, networking anxiety, dating fears. You don’t have to live in fear! Together, we will integrate evidence-based methods of therapy (especially EMDR paired with Internal Family Systems-inspired parts work, and Mindfulness) to heal the strong reactivity keeping you (and your nervous system) stuck. Then, things that “shouldn’t” bother you won’t trigger those strong reactions, and you will be free to live life on your own terms. This approach nurtures lasting transformation by healing from the root. The sessions are experiential: that is we engage in a healing process rather than only talking about it. At times, this may flow more like a deep collaborative meditation. I create a safe, warm, nonjudgmental space to explore what’s not working and bring you into alignment with your potential for well-being. You already know what it means to take the first step, and that’s worth celebrating. Now, you can trust yourself to take the next one.
