Curiosity opens the door to compassion, and compassion creates the safety where real change can happen.

More than 20 years of meeting people where they are

One of the most profound determinants of how we experience our lives is how we feel about ourselves — our sense of worthiness. We live with ourselves day in and day out, and the story we tell ourselves is reinforced, for better or for worse. The health of our relationship with ourselves often dictates the health of our relationships with others.

We all have the innate capacity to grow and change, to be resilient in the face of challenges, and to be empowered to change patterns of behavior and relationship that no longer serve us. I work to meet people where they are and to create a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental environment that allows for genuine exploration and growth.

I believe EMDR is especially effective, offering specific protocols for various challenges like trauma, anxiety, depression, medical issues, and couples concerns. Together, we will create a safe space to foster healing, growth, and lasting change.

My methods are eclectic and depend on what works best for you. I gravitate toward humanistic, strengths-based, and solution-focused approaches. My goal is to empower individuals, couples, and families to identify and utilize their inherent strengths to navigate obstacles and interpersonal challenges.

Outside the therapy room, I am a fierce animal advocate, passionate gardener, crafter, avid reader, and deeply proud mom and grandmother. I recently developed a formal EMDR couples protocol aligned with EMDRIA standards — something I am incredibly proud of.
