I work with a wide range of concerns, from everyday stressors to deeply rooted wounds. Here you'll find specialties in which I have advanced training and experience.


Specializing in EMDR, Religious Trauma, &
 Adult Adoptee Support




EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help the brain process distressing memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or “stuck.” It’s a powerful approach, and one I use with care and flexibility.

I don’t view EMDR as a one-size-fits-all approach. We’ll move at your pace, with a strong foundation of trust and preparation before ever beginning reprocessing work. Part of this preparation involves paying attention to the different parts of you that may show up around trauma, healing, and change. Some parts may be ready to move forward, while others may feel protective or hesitant. All of this is important information, and I aim to work in a way that works with your system, and not against it.

If we decide EMDR is a good fit for treatment, we’ll take time to prepare together. This includes:
  • Identifying current concerns and core beliefs you’d like to shift.
  • Building up internal tools and resources to help you stay grounded and supported throughout the process.
  • Getting to know the parts of you connected to past experiences or present-day triggers, and understanding what they need to feel safe enough to engage.
  • Mapping out memories or experiences related to what you’re noticing in your life now, at a pace that feels manageable.
  • When you’re ready, we’ll begin reprocessing using bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) to help your brain process stuck material in a safe, supported way.

Healing with EMDR Therapy: Working with All Parts of You



Religious trauma can be hard to name, and even harder to talk about. If you've been harmed by a rigid, high-control or fear-based belief system, you're not alone. The impacts can run deep, affecting how you see yourself, your relationships, your body, your worth, and your sense of safety in the world.

I have both personal and professional experience navigating this area, which allows me to deeply "get"  this complex issue. Alongside my private practice, I have experience as a trauma coach, working exclusively with individuals affected by religious trauma.

Religious Trauma Therapy

Adult Adoptee Support

Being adopted is a part of your story, but it’s not always simple! Many adult adoptees find themselves navigating complex feelings that can surface at different points in life: identity questions, grief, loss, or wondering how to allow for both love and pain in their adoption experience.
You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Therapy can be a space to explore your story with nuance, compassion, and freedom.

Along with my therapy experience, I also have close to ten years of experience working in child welfare and adoption. I understand the lifelong nature of adoption and the deep, often invisible layers adoptees carry. I aim to provide adoptees with an emotionally safe space to process these layers.
