About

I work with adults, professionals, and healthcare providers who appear successful on the outside but struggle privately. With more than 30 years of clinical experience and advanced certification as an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, I specialize in helping people who feel stuck despite years of trying to move forward. My approach goes beyond symptom management by addressing the underlying experiences that continue to shape how you think, feel, and respond. Together, we will work to resolve—not simply manage—the experiences that continue to interfere with your life. I also incorporate Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), an evidence-based model, for the treatment for OCD and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. In addition to working with clients, I provide consultation to other EMDR therapists, reflecting my commitment to clinical excellence and continued professional growth.

You may feel the pressures of everyday life, weighed down by difficult experiences, or repeating patterns that keep you from living the life you want. Even if you are struggling with anxiety, trauma, OCD, relationship conflict, or the relentless demands of work and daily life, overcoming these challenges is possible. I am here to help you achieve greater calm, resolution, and freedom from the experiences that continue to hold you back.

My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs and goals. Clients often describe feeling understood, supported, and challenged as they gain new insight, build resilience, and make meaningful progress toward lasting change.
