About Me
Over time, both personally and in my work with others, I’ve come to trust that there’s a natural movement in people toward clarity and resolution. Not something that has to be created or forced, but something that’s already there— often covered over by patterns that formed for good reasons, even if they no longer serve.
When those patterns begin to make sense and loosen, things tend to shift on their own. Reactions soften, decisions become clearer, and what once felt stuck starts to reorganize in a way that feels more natural and sustainable.
My work is centered around supporting that process. I draw from approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Coherence Therapy. What matters most to me is what each approach points to - that when the right conditions are present, people naturally begin to reorganize in a way that feels more aligned and less effortful.
I work with both individuals and couples. Whether it’s something happening internally or within a relationship, the focus is similar - understanding the patterns that have formed, how they interact, and creating the space for those patterns to shift so that connection, clarity, and stability can return.
In sessions, I’m paying close attention to what’s actually happening - your reactions, your patterns, and the different parts of you - and working with that directly. We’re not trying to force change or push past anything. Instead, we’re creating enough space for things to come back into alignment in a way that actually holds.
The work tends to feel steady, collaborative, and grounded. Over time, people often notice:
less internal conflict
more clarity in how they respond
a greater sense of steadiness
things feeling more natural, with less effort required to hold things together
I don’t see therapy as fixing something that’s broken. I see it as helping things come back into a way of being that is already there.
Consultation
In addition to therapy, I provide consultation for therapists working with trauma, dissociation, and complex relational dynamics.
As an EMDR International Association Approved Consultant, I offer both EMDR consultation and general case consultation for therapists seeking a more nuanced and flexible approach to their clinical work, as well as towards certification.
