About
Availability daytime weekdays! I specialize in the compassionate treatment of OCD, Anxiety, and Trauma. I have certifications through EMDRIA and IOCDF. I’ll take a compassionate and empathetic approach to help you identify and move towards your goals and values. We will explore why your current coping tools were strategies that kept you safe in the past, but no longer serve you. We will develop more adaptive ways to achieve your goals. I am warm, non-judgmental, and my goal is to provide a safe space to allow you to move toward changing what you can and accepting what you cannot. I am certified in and extensively use EMDR therapy along with parts work. I’m also trained in CBT, IFS, and ACT, and use a variety of therapeutic interventions to help clients achieve change. I believe that the cornerstone of therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. Healing and transformation start with the quality of that relationship. My clients report increased clarity of purpose, progress towards goals and values, and improved relationships. I would love to help you on your journey toward increased fulfillment and clarity. Don’t hesitate to reach out :) Credentials & Experience: I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist
"I spend time getting to know you, what has happened to you throughout your life, and building rapport, and then carefully begin to dial into the areas where you are struggling. With past trauma, I generally psychoeducate my clients around and then utilize the EMDR 8 phase protocol."
