Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) is a trauma intervention to help individuals process traumatic memories and work on decreasing the intensity of their symptoms. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, etc.) to help individuals keep one foot rooted in the therapy room while also exploring the traumatic memory to help us get “unstuck,” change patterns, and integrate new information to help us reach our goals.

I help adults navigate loneliness, finding community, life transitions, anxiety, trauma and stress throughout adulthood. 

• Navigating Change: There’s so much about life that can’t be controlled but we don’t need to go through it alone. I support adults through significant changes. Some examples may include career transitions, starting a family, ending a relationship, and moving.

• Strengthening & Building Community: Many people experience loneliness and lack of community in our adult lives, especially after our shared trauma from the global pandemic. I provide support coping with social hardship and finding community in an increasingly isolated world.

• Managing Anxiety & Avoidance: Have you ever felt yourself constantly avoiding something? You have the desire or motivation, but you feel stuck in your tracks on where to begin. Do you find yourself constantly thinking about what could go wrong? When dealing with anxiety, individuals often feel on edge and have a hard time managing the overwhelm and fear showing up in these situations. In our work together, we can explore your relationship to anxiety. Together we can better understand the ways it has kept you safe and the ways it has kept you from your goals. We will develop a collaborative plan to take small steps toward your values and the person you want to be.

• Processing trauma: Often after a trauma we feel stuck. Unsure how to move forward, we can become locked in patterns and behaviors that aren’t working for us. Stepping outside of these patterns often can feel insurmountable. In our work together we can work on changing our relationship to these events, rewrite negative self talk and beliefs, and work on understanding and changing our reactions in the present to help you meet your goals. You deserve more than just surviving through it.

I currently serve teenagers and young adults (14+) as they navigate the challenges of high school, finding their independence, and transitioning from child to adulthood.

• Navigating Change: High school and college are some of the most significant transition periods in life. I work with teens and young adults who are experiencing anxiety and distress from parental divorce, an upcoming graduation, social anxiety, loss, and other struggles. We all navigates changes throughout life, but none of us need to go through it alone.

• Exploring Identity, Independence, & the Transition to Adulthood: Part of being a teenager or young adult is existing in transition. We are often being given more responsibilities, held to higher expectations, and struggling to identify what’s next for us. Wherever this new chapter of life takes us, finding out who we want to be and navigating these changes can feel overwhelming. In my work, I partner with teens and young adults to better understand where they want to go next. This includes exploring questions of shifting identity, sexuality, gender, and spirituality. We also often discuss transitions in relationships as we enter new settings like the workforce or college.

There is no one size fits all to therapy. As such, the time it takes for us to complete services changes from person to person. As such, at your first several appointments, we will set identified goals and look at what you hope to see change through our work together.
