Specialties
IFS, ART, EMDR, EFT
-
IFS is a gentle, effective approach based on the idea that we all have different parts within us that show up at various times -we have our anxious part, our people pleasing part, our angry part, the driven part, the protector part. These parts - even the ones we may want to change up aren’t flawed. They are brilliant survival strategies that got us here - but maybe need to stand down for a while. IFS helps us understand them, heal the wounds that brought them here and learn some new ways to safely navigate our relationships, our past and ourselves.
This approach works perfectly for individuals and couples wanting deeper connection, healing and understanding.

ART is a profound, non-invasive approach to break free from trauma, stress, anxiety and fear. Very similar to EMDR but faster. This works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. This approach can help quickly clear the emotional blocks without having to relive and retell the painful details.
Relief can often by felt in as little as one to five sessions and is perfect for young teens to adults.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) isn’t about better communication scripts or feel good messaging…it’s about getting to what’s actually driving the disconnection.
Under the conflict, there’s almost always a fear: Do I matter? Am I safe with you? How did we get here?
EFT helps couples slow down the cycle, understand the emotions underneath it, and respond to each other in a way that builds real security. This is where the shift happens. Move from reacting and defending to actually feeling seen, understood, and connected again.

You’re finally starting to admit to yourself that something isn’t right.
You can feel yourself starting to unravel. You’re exhausted but can’t sleep, and the tension never really lets up. Your emotions either feel too big, too messy…or you will get to it later.
And later gets worse.
Staying busy and keeping control used to work in a way, but now you just feel disconnected…from yourself, your people, and even your own body.
I see you.
Maybe you feel betrayed by your body, your nervous system, your feelings…and yet, imagine if you could learn to work WITH your system?
All the edges, reactivities, emotional hostage taking and fight/fight/fawn reflexes are actually self-protection. Your brilliant system learned what to do years ago to keep you safe, and it worked. But now it may be maladaptive and needs some redirection.
There is a place, where you can actually feel the feelings without drowning, running or reacting imbalanced.
Where you can be at your family event, that anniverary you have been dreading…without bracing for impact when those earlier traumas and experiences show up, uninvited and with bags. Imagine not flinching or retreating when you talk to your mother, your spouse…your boss.
When you’re at the wheel and getting intentional about your life, when you have all resources on board so you can make informed decisions…and then, YOU get to show up in a way that feels safe, sustainable and engaged.
You can and I’d love to show you how.
