Whether that includes a goal of becoming parents and adjusting to parenthood, or creating meaningful & satisfying relationships, or healing from past hurts & traumas.

Everyone can use extra support and encouragement, especially when things aren’t going as hoped. Oftentimes simply talking with a professional and having an additional person in your corner can provide some well deserved relief. I’ve been told that I’m easy to talk with, compassionate, and non-judgmental. Whatever is going on that has brought you to visit this site, I’m sure that together we can figure out some ways to help your situation feel more manageable.
I am certified in both EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and the Adaptive Internal Relational (AIR) Network model to help clients strengthen their inner resources, desensitize traumas, notice and trust what is going on within themselves, and ultimately utilize their most resourced self to respond more adaptively when they feel triggered or stressed.
I’ve been trained in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction which utilizes present moment awareness to slow down, cope adaptively, and neurologically alter how the body and mind respond to stress. Through working together, my hope is that you’ll feel more present, experience less stress, and discover more contentment in life.
