When things are going wrong, change can sometimes feel impossible. If you’re here, it’s probably because you’ve identified something in your life you aren’t satisfied with and you’re ready to try something new.
I believe any challenge we encounter will impact our emotions, our thoughts, and our physical body. By tuning into all three, we can turn signs of distress into sources of insight, and resources for self-soothing and emotional management.
To that end, EMDR Therapy is my preferred approach for assisting clients in facing and moving through traumas big and small. Combining the healing power of EMDR with elements of mindfulness, self-compassion, skill-building, and role-play techniques has helped my clients move through difficulties, heal past wounds, and get their lives back on track.
By looking for help, you have initiated a process that can transform your life. My clients show me that it is absolutely possible to feel, think, and react differently, and you don’t have to struggle towards change alone.

I’m a bit of a homebody. I love spending time with my wife and my two cats, playing
board games or crocheting. Nothing makes me feel safer.
