About

My approach to therapy is holistic and addresses mind, body, and spirit as essential, interwoven aspects of who we are. Through my years of practice, I've learned to integrate various somatic and mindfulness modalities into sessions because they go beyond strictly talk therapy in helping calm the nervous system, reduce the effects of trauma and overwhelm, foster new perspectives, and create a healthier relationship with the body. The result is greater resilience, self-compassion, fulfillment, empowerment, and joy. EFT Tapping and Embodied Mindfulness are two modalities that I use & teach so that clients have tools to use at home. EMDR is another very effective treatment I use for addressing trauma and other disturbing experiences. EMDR pairs bilateral eye movement and body tapping with challenging memories, beliefs, and distressing emotional symptoms. The EMDR process reduces distress and organically leads to new, more adaptive perspectives and helpful insights.
