About

Listen, Act, and Transform

I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship challenges, intimacy concerns, trauma, life transitions, and much more. My approach is eclectic integrating EMDR, Somatic therapy, IFS, Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT, Gottman and a few others. I have experience working with a diverse range of clients. I graduated with honors as a member of Chi Sigma Iota. I am a certified EMDR Therapist, IFS-EMDR Informed therapist, and currently working on a PhD in Clinical Sexology. In a counseling session we will explore emotional and cognitive barriers, past and present relationships, and collaboratively devise therapy goals. I would like to help assist you in a safe and therapeutic environment to provide some tools, insight, understanding, support, or skills to create the type of relationships you desire. I appreciate all my clients and understand the difficulties of sharing your struggles.
