If talk therapy hasn't worked for you, you're in the right place. I provide art therapy, somatic therapy and EMDR for anxiety, trauma and life transitions

My work is designed for adults who are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware, yet still feel emotionally stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by patterns that don’t seem to shift. Many of the people I work with have tried traditional approaches and gained insight, but notice that understanding alone hasn’t brought the relief or change they hoped for. I take an integrative approach that addresses both the mind and the body. Sessions may include EMDR to process distressing experiences, somatic tools to support nervous system regulation, and art therapy to access emotions that feel hard to put into words. Therapy is structured, purposeful, and tailored to your needs, with an emphasis on helping you feel more grounded, clear, and emotionally supported in daily life. I work with adults from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, belief systems, and lived experiences. This includes differences in culture, ethnicity, race, religion, spirituality, gender identity, sexual orientation, and political perspectives. My practice is grounded in respect, curiosity, and openness, with an emphasis on meeting you without judgment and understanding your experiences in context. I have a particular focus on anxiety, depression, complex trauma, identity concerns, burnout, and periods of transition. This includes career uncertainty, relationship shifts, and moments where life looks stable on the outside while feeling unsettled internally. In addition to ongoing therapy, I offer EMDR intensives for clients who want focused, extended support in a shorter period of time. Intensives can be helpful when you are motivated for change and want to make meaningful progress without long gaps between sessions. All services are offered virtually, allowing you to participate in therapy from the comfort and privacy of your home. My goal is to provide therapy that feels grounded, thoughtful, and effective, with space for depth while keeping a clear focus on growth and forward movement.
