What I Do
-
EMDR
EMDR (Shapiro) stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It is a bottom-up approach to processing and clearing the reactivity and distress related to single incident and complex trauma. When the past is no longer taking over present we can respond to our lives with our current resource and truth.
-
Polyvagal Work
Polyvagal Theory (Porges) explains how we struggle to be clear that past threats are past and why we may feel unsafe even when we are safe in present. In essence, our state tells our story. Through some simple techniques we can become more in charge of our narrative, our reactivity, and our engagement in life.
-
Parts Work
Parts work is a way to conceptualize the many different perspectives within us. Sometimes clearing the reactivity these parts hold allows us to embody who we know ourselves to be in the here and now.
-
Somatic Work
Somatic work explores how we hold our many varied experiences of safety and threat in our body (soma). Somatic work is a beautiful adjunct to EMDR allowing us to clear areas of pain, discomfort, and tension resulting from traumatic experiences.
-
Attachment Work
Attachment Theory (Bowlby) suggests that early relationships affect how we experience trust, closeness, and fear of rejection thus impacting our capacity for emotional regulation in relationships throughout life.

My Expertise
No matter the kind of therapy you seek, in the end the therapeutic relationship is the basis for all successful work. I consider my years of experience and practical day to day application of these modalities with people who have had a myriad of concerns, issues, and problems to be my greatest offering. I have created a deep well of capacity to be with folks in pretty difficult circumstance and to be in celebration of all the success they find along the way. I truly love my work and am honored to hold space and be witness to personal transformation and healing.
