Psychotherapy

When we can gain control over the elements that bring us down, anxiety, depression, and doubt, we gain a sense of hope that healing is possible. My goal is to help you break free from the patterns of discontent, recover vital parts of yourself, and engage in life with meaning. 

I am a Mindfulness-based trauma therapist. I specialize in helping people recover from the debilitating effects of trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD. Whether you struggle from anxiety, depression, grief, and/or a sense of existential loss, in working together I aim to help you cultivate a lightening of being, stability where there was chaos, illuminate understanding where there was darkness, gain agency in your life with tools to apply to each situation so you can make choices that support resiliency and a greater capacity for fulfillment.

I have over 35 years of experience in the field of Mindfulness including monastic training in Asia as well as secular Mindfulness training in the States, and two decades of experience implementing Mindfulness in pastoral care to individuals seeking to decrease the suffering in their lives and open to a deeper potential life can offer. I’ve honed the synthesis of Mindfulness and Trauma-focused care with EMDR in my years working in residential treatment facilities, outpatient programs, and in private practice.

EDMR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly efficacious modality of psychotherapy that helps people recover from trauma and other adverse life experiences. It has been widely researched and proven to be helpful in resolving distressing symptoms of many mental health issues including PTSD, anxiety, depression and grief. Together we will learn how to move through being stuck in patterns and will work on gaining foundational skills, self-regulation, affect tolerance and meta-awareness.
