Trauma therapy/EMDR
Trauma is not defined by an event but by the impact an event has on the person. Trauma comprises our ability to engage with others by replacing patterns of connection with patterns of protection. In EMDR and trauma therapy, the focus is on the individual’s present concerns and symptoms while proposing emotionally charged experiences from the past. This may have a dominating effect on one’s current emotions, sensations, and thoughts. For example “Do you ever feel unlovable, although you have profound love in your life?” EMDR and other trauma therapies processing helps you break through the emotional blocks that may be keeping you from living an adaptive, liberated, and emotionally fulfilling life.

Maternal mental health
Here for you throughout every stage of motherhood, including fertility, perinatal and motherhood. Many women need support as they are single parents by choice, infertility and stress while trying to conceive, new parenting stress, perinatal loss and prenatal/postnatal stress. Women with a history of pregnancy loss are at increased risk for depression and anxiety, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), after the birth of a child. 1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression in the year after they give birth. Maternal mental health sessions can be the support to talk about the dark storm that can often comes during these stages of womanhood. Read More
Sex therapy
Sex therapy can help you to have a loving, secure and intimate sexual partnership with yourself and another. Many people have a hard time talking about sex in a vulnerable, direct and authentic manner. Not talking about one’s sexual desires, needs, feeling and issues with sex, prevents people from having intimate, healthy and exciting sex lives. This includes female and male sexual pain and desire difficulties, and pelvic floor dysfunction and sexual dysfunction. Read More
EMDR Consultation
Consultation towards EMDRIA Certification is one of the next steps for clinicians who completed EMDR Therapy Basic Training. Through consultation, clinicians place into practice all they learned to strengthen their clinical skills and enhance their practical knowledge. I am currently on the training team at EMDR Education and Training Center. Read More
Taking time to care for yourself is important. Oftentimes, we hide a part of ourselves out of fear of judgment or pain. Therapy is a place to bring your whole self--whatever that may look like for you. My work is grounded in cultivating a safe and accepting space for you to share your desires, fears, passions, worries, and more. Healing begins when we shift our mindsets towards having more self-compassion and giving ourselves space to be imperfect (which we all are!). I do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to therapy, but rather a collaborative one. My hope is that we can begin the therapeutic journey together by focusing on what is most salient for you. There is no “right” or “wrong” way to be in therapy. My style is relational and supportive. I look forward to being able to support you on your journey.
