COUNSELING
About Me
I work with adults who want more than insight - they want meaningful internal change and a clearer path forward.
Who I help
I am a traum-informed therapist with advanced training in EMDR and integrative approaches that support regulation, processing, and long-term change. My work is especially suited to high-functioning adults who appear capable externally but feel internally overextended, dysregulated, or stuck.
My Role in Therapy
I don’t position myself as an expert who interprets, diagnoses, or directs.
​
I work as an integrator and thinking partner — someone who helps clients observe their internal responses without escalating them, normalize what is human and understandable, and gradually widen the space for choice.
​
Together, we slow down the processes by which emotions become overwhelming, thoughts become rigid, and internal reactions take up more space than they need to.
​
This work is not about becoming calm at all costs.
It is about developing enough tolerance and clarity to respond differently — even when discomfort is present.
Why my work is different
Many clients seek me out because they do not want therapy that remians purely reflective, passive, or open-ended. They want a clinician who can hold complexity while also bringing strucutre, direction, and a clinically grounded process. ​
​​
Rather than helping clients control, eliminate, or “work through” difficult emotions, I focus on restoring the capacity to stay present with them. From that place, clarity, agency, and forward movement emerge naturally.

Training & Professional Background
​I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDR Approved Consultant, with advanced training in trauma treatment, clinical hypnosis, and relational and sexual health.
​
Rather than practicing one modality in isolation, I work integratively — drawing from multiple frameworks while staying grounded in how change actually unfolds in real life.
​
At the core of my approach is a simple but demanding principle:
Emotional experience does not need to be eliminated in order for life to move forward.
​
Much of the suffering I see comes not from emotions themselves, but from the struggle against them — the urgency to control, explain away, or override what is already happening internally.
