Therapy That Gets You Somewhere
Many of my clients are insightful people who have already spent years thinking about their struggles. What they need isn’t more analysis, but a relationship where they can experience themselves differently.
I bring warmth, honesty, humor, and curiosity to this work. We’ll explore the stories, relationships, and experiences that have shaped your life while also building practical tools for change.
My work is anti-racist, liberation-focused, LGBTQIA+, and neurodiversity affirming. I believe personal healing contributes to broader social change, and I take both seriously.
Warm, Relational, and Structured
I think therapy works best when genuine human connection and clear direction exist together.
Within our first few sessions, we’ll identify goals that matter to you and create a roadmap for the work.
Tailored to You
Rather than asking you to fit yourself into a particular model, I draw from a range of approaches and adapt them to your unique needs.
My work is informed by:
Existential Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy
Person-Centered Therapy
Parts Work
Mindful Self-Compassion
Feminist Relational-Cultural Therapy
Attachment Therapy
I am trained in Standard-Protocol and Attachment-Focused EMDR and use both frequently for trauma work.
What's the difference between EMDR and Attachment-Focused EMDR?
Standard protocol EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) , developed by Francine Shapiro, is a structured, step-by-step approach. We pick a specific painful memory, notice the beliefs and feelings attached to it, and use bilateral stimulation (like eye movements or gentle tapping) to help your brain finally process what got stuck. It can work beautifully, especially for a single difficult event.
Attachment-focused EMDR, developed by Laurel Parnell, keeps that same healing process but softens and personalizes it, which is why I love it. Our relationship becomes part of the healing, we go at a pace that feels safe for your nervous system, and we take time to build up inner resources first, like imagined figures who are nurturing, protective, or wise. So many of the hurts we carry come from early relationships rather than one single moment, and this approach gives us a gentle way to tend to those places where you didn’t get the care or protection you needed. It’s less about following a script and more about meeting you exactly where you are.
A Collaborative Process
You are the expert on your own experience. My role is to bring perspective, training, support, and the occasional well-timed challenge as we work toward the changes you want to make.
Whatever brings you here, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and move toward a life that feels more authentic, intentional, and fulfilling.
