I believe counseling is most powerful when it sensitizes you to what’s happening in your mind, heart, and body and helps you meet whatever you find with compassion. Feeling your feels (literally) is the first step to making sense of them. Within that confusion is the possibility of deeper self-knowledge and freedom.
Mindful, Somatic, Strengths-based Therapy
Emotions live in the body. They are the drop in your gut, the tightness in your chest, the tingling sense of possibility, and energetic waves of gratitude. Many of us are cut off from our bodies and the important information they carry. Together, we slow down and notice these sensations in the present moment, so that you can learn from them—where they come from, what beliefs they hold, and what they know about your needs, values, and past experiences. In this process, I’m your companion and collaborator, reflecting your experience and your own best advice. We learn through relationship, which means my role is to listen to you with compassion and acceptance until you learn to do the same in your relationship with yourself.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is a trauma-processing therapy that targets specific memories contributing to present-day symptoms. It uses bilateral stimulation—such as eye movements, alternating sounds, or gentle tapping—to support the nervous system as it processes those memories.
EMDR is based on the idea that the past is present, for better and for worse. Our brains naturally move toward healing, but when we experience something that is too much, too fast, or not enough for too long, that process can get stuck. EMDR works to unblock those memory networks so the brain can reprocess experiences and move toward well-being.
This modality is often especially helpful for people who know intellectually that what happened wasn’t their fault, that they have more power now, or that they are safe enough in the present—but don’t yet feel that truth in their core. EMDR aims to bring the mind and body together so that traumatic experiences can be stored where they belong: in the past, and your system can orient more fully to the present.
Because I’m currently training in EMDR, I offer a limited number of scholarship spots at $75 per 50-minute session for clients interested in working in this modality and seeking more accessible care. This work is offered within the scope of my training and supported by ongoing consultation.
