One therapy to address this area would be - Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma and distressing life experiences. It works by helping the brain "unstick" painful memories that may feel frozen in time, allowing them to be processed and stored more adaptively.

During an EMDR session, you’ll briefly focus on a difficult memory while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements. This process activates your brain’s natural healing ability similar to what happens during REM sleep so the memory loses its emotional charge and becomes less triggering over time.

EMDR has been shown to be effective for a wide range of concerns, including PTSD, anxiety, panic, grief, phobias, low self-esteem, and more. Many clients report feeling more empowered, present, and at peace after treatment.

Our culture shapes how we think and talk about bodies and food often in ways that are harmful and deeply ingrained. If you find that thoughts about food, weight, or body image take up a lot of space in your mind, you're not alone and it’s not your fault.

Eating concerns are not just about food; they’re often connected to deeper emotions, trauma, or attempts to find control or safety. In therapy, we’ll explore these patterns with compassion and curiosity, helping you understand how your eating concerns/challenges developed and what it may be trying to protect. Together, we’ll work to quiet the critical voice of the eating disorder and reconnect you to joy, nourishment, and self-trust.

This process includes learning to reframe beliefs about “good” and “bad” foods, challenging body-related self-talk, and creating space in your life for presence, pleasure, and connection. You deserve to enjoy your food, feel at home in your body, and live more freely.

Our sense of identity is deeply personal and often shifts across different stages of life. For some, this means exploring gender, sexuality, or self-expression within the LGBTQ+ community. For others, identity changes may emerge through major life transitions such as entering parenthood, navigating career changes, becoming a caregiver, or moving into new stages of adulthood and aging.

These shifts can bring growth, but they can also feel disorienting, overwhelming, or even isolating. I am committed to creating a truly safe, affirming, and healing space where all genders, identities, and lived experiences are respected and supported. My approach centers on helping clients honor their authentic selves while working through the challenges that come with change.

Whether you’re exploring your gender expression, adjusting to the new identity of being a parent, navigating relationship shifts, or making sense of the evolving roles that come with life’s natural cycles you don’t have to do it alone.

Whether you’ve experienced a major (Big T) trauma or more subtle (little t) wounds, healing and relief are possible. I use trauma-informed approaches to gently address important themes like trust, safety, connection, control, and power and how these experiences shape your view of yourself and the world. Together, we’ll work to rebuild your self-confidence and help your body release the stress it’s been holding, creating space for greater peace and resilience.

Life can feel overwhelming especially when you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or worried about being judged. These challenges can make everyday things feel heavier than they should.

In my work with teens and young adults, I focus on meeting you exactly where you are. I show up as a real human in the room (humor included), because building trust matters. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way and find tools to help you feel more confident, connected, and better equipped to handle life’s ups and downs.

Anxiety can quietly take over our daily lives that pit in your stomach, the restlessness in your body, or that lingering sense of dread without a clear cause. It can feel frustrating and exhausting, often leaving us wishing it would just disappear. But in therapy, we begin to understand that anxiety isn't just a nuisance it’s a signal. Often, it's trying to get our attention or nudge us toward something that needs care or change. Together, we can learn how to work with anxiety, not against it, and create more calm and clarity in your life.

Depression can show up in many different ways. For some, it feels like a heavy cloud that lingers; for others, it’s like wearing dark-tinted glasses that dull life’s color and joy. Even simple tasks like getting out of bed or starting the day can feel overwhelming. You're not alone in this, and there is a path forward. Through a combination of practical cognitive tools and deeper exploration of what’s beneath the surface, we can work together to lighten that heaviness and create more space for relief, connection, and ease.
