​

Our stories are shaped by moments of joy, laughter, and beauty while also marked with disconnection, feelings of insecurity, and trauma. Yet, within these wounds lie the very hope of transformation and healing. Relationships can both hurt and heal us. 

 

I bring a creative and grounded approach to counseling that is evidence-based and trauma informed. I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Expressive Arts, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and other attachment-based approaches to help people move toward healing and reduce suffering.

 

EMDR therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms. 

 

EFT is a scientifically proven method for working with couples and families. It improves the attachment bond and helps to create more satisfying relationships. Couples often feel more loved and supported when they learn how to bond with their partner in healthier ways. Often, parenting and family dynamics improve. I am trained in EFT and use this method when working with couples and families.
