       "It is my privilege to come alongside another person who is seeking healing and wholeness. I believe we are all unique and were created on purpose to take responsibility for and enjoy life as our genuine self. But often abuse, attachment injuries, relational trauma or adverse experiences threaten to bury our genuine self. The desire to be clearly seen and known by another, and then to receive acceptance and love, is rooted in everyone. Unfortunately, we start learning very young which parts of ourselves we need to hide in order to be loved, accepted and have our needs matter.

       Helping individuals regain solid footing as a confident self and couples regain safe emotional connection with each other is what brings me great satisfaction and motivates me to continue to hone my therapeutic skills. I use EMDR in a creative, yet evidence based, way to make significant positive changes in my client’s lives. Together we explore the life events that shaped you to be the way you are today, re-examine any false beliefs, heal relational and attachment trauma, or remove perceived barriers to living as your genuine self."
