I connect with clients from a place of acceptance using humor and warmth to make the therapeutic process collaborative and comfortable. I use a systemic perspective striving to understand how an individual’s difficulties and symptoms arise from their life experiences and relationships. I view the therapeutic process as a way to come alongside clients in an effort to improve their satisfaction with life and relationships.

I specialize in helping individuals make transformational change through specialized trauma therapy techniques. I blend Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Havening Techniques®, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Trauma-focused Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Experiencing to help clients quickly dive into past experiences that continue to interfere with present functioning. This is often intense work for a short period and leads to meaningful and lasting change. I work with adolescents and adults and have a special interest in using these techniques to help those who have experienced perinatal trauma.
