Life isn’t always smooth sailing~
Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm are with you everyday and it’s starting to take a toll on you. Maybe you are dealing with the impact of a painful or traumatic experience that shook your world and your sense of self. Maybe you are facing a chronic health condition or pain that has changed the landscape of your life. Perhaps you are feeling lost or unsatisfied. You feel unsettled in your relationships or your career. You’ve lost your passion or self-confidence. You’ve been to therapy, but it still doesn’t feel like you’ve gotten to the root of the issue. You know that there has to be more.
You don’t want to always be…
-
You’ve been distracted. You can’t seem to keep your head out of the clouds or from going back to the past. You’ve been less attentive and in the present moment. At times it feels like you’re just going through the motions. You’ve always been mature for your age. Maybe the adults who were supposed to protect you weren't reliable and you learned to take care of yourself. Now that you’ve a successful adult, those memories or painful experiences are coming back to the surface.
-
Maybe you’re dealing with a chronic illness or health concern that has changed everything about your life and how you see yourself. Maybe you’ve had a painful experience or a change in life that has caused you to feel less connected to the people you love or the priorities that mattered so much. You’re trying to hold it all together but it feels like it’s falling apart.
-
You’re no longer sure of yourself and what you are capable of. You are afraid of letting others see what you carry inside. The mask you wear is starting to crack. As much as you want to, you can’t seem to maintain a form of balance in your life and with little down time to recharge, you constantly feel like you’re failing or falling behind.
-
You know that you want things to feel different than they are. You don’t want to feel tired, worn down, distracted, or disinterested. You want a vibrant life full of meaning, purpose, and passion. In moments when you find yourself alone, you struggle to answer questions like:
What is my purpose? Who am I? Am I fulfilled? Is something wrong with me? Why do I feel this way…my life is great.
Maybe you have some insight as to what is going on and what’s brought you to this place. Maybe you’re done therapy before and you know all the reasons but you don’t feel like it’s really taking root or changing anything in your life. You’ve done some research about evidence-based therapy and you wonder if EMDR can help you too.
You’re in the right place.
EMDR can help and so can I.

Journey with me.
Tailor Made Specifically for You
Therapy is not one size fits all. The relationship we create together based on your unique experiences will show us the best way to work together and how we approach trauma and pain.
It’s All Connected
Talk therapy can only get you so far. My evidence-based approach incorporates the mind, body, and emotions into the therapy process so that your whole self can experience relief, release, and healing.
Real Change for Real Life
We will work to incorporate your new insights, tools, and perspectives into your day-to-day life so that you can see real improvement in your relationships with family, friends, your career, and yourself.
This is not Vegas: What we do in therapy shouldn’t stay in therapy. Therapy should result in real and lasting change in your everyday life.
