If you’re here, I see the courage it takes to start this work. Many clients seem put-together but privately struggle with anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or people-pleasing—often rooted in past trauma or early relational patterns. Using EMDR therapy, parts work, and mind-body approaches, we move beyond insight to embodied healing in a warm, collaborative, trauma-informed space—processing trauma, breaking old patterns, and nurturing your growth, confidence, and self-trust so you can feel grou...

I approach therapy as an open, safe, and comfortable place for clients. I immediately work on creating a good client-therapist bond. I encourage open communication and collaborative work toward creating goals. I ask clients, as part of therapy and to increase the completion of goals, to do the work we discuss outside of therapy. I ask for a commitment from them to do the work otherwise the process is slower and the chance of reaching goals is decreased. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernor...

I specialize in imp...
I know personally that therapy may be difficult and uncomfortable, especially in the beginning.

I want us to explore how your thoughts and feelings impact your behaviors, how your past experiences have shaped the way you relate to others and how you communicate. I want to celebrate progress with you, and to create a safe space for when you need mo...
