I see therapy as an opportunity to work toward growth, self-discovery, and healing. I believe that people come to me not only with where they may be stuck or hurting, but also with incredible strengths and abilities. Through warmth, collaboration, and direct communication I hope to help uncover patterns that are getting in the way of living well. I use an experiential, emotion + body focused approach along with art therapy and practical tools to develop new ways of experiencing and approaching the hard stuff in life. I specialize in Inner Bonding, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and PCIT. I frequently utilize EMDR and other somatic approaches in my work.
