I believe that people are naturally equipped with the ability to heal – sometimes by themselves but often with the assistance of a therapist. Healing happens from our innermost self and nervous system all the way out into our emotional, relational and spiritual selves. In my practice, I focus on attachment-focused EMDR that is grounded in psychodynamic theory and utilizes the enneagram, somatic experience and a multidimensional approach.

I have worked in private practice for over twenty years and have continued to be a student of the deepest levels of healing. I’ve completed training in several different approaches with the Enneagram (The Enneagram Institute and the Narrative Tradition) and use this frequently with my clients. It is a wonderful tool to help know what health looks like and how to move towards it. I was trained through EMDRIA in the standard protocol of EMDR. In 2018 I discovered Laurel Parnell and saw the transformational healing that is possible with Attachment Focused EMDR. I completed my training through the Parnell Institute and am a certified consultant and facilitator with the Parnell Institute. In addition to working with clients, I also offer consultation to
therapists in AF-EMDR.

I work to create a safe environment where you can come and explore the layers of beliefs, behaviors, and memories and then move towards your true self. To experience greater freedom, we look at life patterns and work together to understand and name overwhelming struggles and unnoticed strengths. I work with a variety of clients who come in with relationship issues, symptoms of anxiety or depression, issues around eating and eating disorders, childhood and family problems, and a history of trauma.

I look at each client as a whole person with your own story that has led you to where you are today. When we look at current problems, it is always in the context of your story and all the parts of your life to ultimately help you love towards thriving.
