I offer deep Internal Family Systems, Somatic, and EMDR work, especially for those who have tried talk therapy and know they haven’t quite found what they need. I work from the holistic viewpoint that our entire person - mental, physical, past, and present - are deeply connected. Most individuals I work with are looking to better understand overwhelming feelings, and might be experiencing anxiety, depression, disordered eating, sexual trauma, chronic pain, and overall feeling “stuck”. I have experience working with all gender identities and am LGBTQIA+ affirming. I offer a safe space regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, or ability. 

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a specialized therapeutic approach that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. Using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps you to reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer trigger intense emotions and have a more clear understanding of your experiences. This gentle, yet powerful technique, can help reduce symptoms of anxiety, PTSD, and familial trauma. Many find EMDR to be life changing and are able to gain a sense of calm and understanding. 

IFS (Internal Family Systems) or Parts Work is a therapeutic approach that allows you to better understand your inner experiences and impulses as various “parts” of you. These parts can represent different emotions, beliefs, and coping mechanisms. This approach is very useful for building self-esteem as it provides a systematic approach to building self-trust, which creates a more harmonious and balanced self. IFS is beneficial for those seeking deeper self-awareness, healing from childhood trauma and struggling with inner conflict. When combined with somatic therapy, which focuses on the mind / body connection, this approach can also help to relieve chronic pain and fatigue.
