Services
Perhaps you've tried therapy in the past and while it might have been helpful, it did not really enable you to get 'unstuck' or to fully resolve past pain which is often held at a deeper level of body and mind. A single incident trauma as well as tough childhood experiences can often be held so deep within us they are impossible to shift with our rational mind. EMDR can enable us to get 'unstuck' not only from traumatic memories but also from negative beliefs, phobias and even addictive behaviors. I was trained and licensed in California as an MFT and mostly use attachment-focused EMDR in addition to traditional therapy as it tends to make the most beneficial impact for my clients. My training further includes psychedelic preparation and integration work.

Approach
In our sessions I will focus on helping you dig through all the conditioning and outside messages that over the years have come to bury and hide your intact core self.
One of my priorities is to make you feel enough trust to be your true, authentic self where holding back or deep-seated feelings of shame no longer block the way toward healing.
Finding a therapist that's right for you is hard. How do you choose from the countless practitioners on this site? I think chemistry plays a big role, it's an almost visceral feeling of 'you get me.' That's why I offer a free, initial online session. Let's explore together what you are looking for in therapy and whether I could be the right fit for you.
What is EMDR?
Healing does not mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives!
