It is a gift to feel connected to the inner self. Each day, I aim to help my clients gain more insight into their emotions, body sensations, thoughts and behaviors. My role as therapist is to work alongside my clients: identifying strengths, removing obstacles that hinder progress, exploring alternative perspectives, and accepting all parts of self, even the ones that feel hard to accept at times. Especially if we have experienced significant stress or adversity, this can be a challenge. I believe that each person is the expert in their own life and has intuitive wisdom. I provide a toolbox we can pull from to aid the process. I am a trauma-informed and psychodynamically focused therapist who works with complex trauma/PTSD and dissociation. I utilize EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy, combined with eclectic, attachment-focused, relational/cultural and feminist therapies in my work. All clients are welcome. I believe that the heart of therapy lies in collaboratively creating a trusting relationship between client and therapist. I honor the therapeutic alliance and process, and I hope to offer a meaningful experience in our work together.
