About
Sometimes, life feels like you’ve lost your melody and can’t find where you belong in the symphony of life. My passion is to help you feel truly seen and loved. Therapy for me, is about diving into the depths with you, where we can uncover and restore goodness, beauty, and love.
As a musician, and previous church staff member, I understand the intricacies of ministry, and enjoy working with individuals needing care from church experiences. Specializing in trauma therapy utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I focus on healing posttraumatic stress disorder and complex trauma. Whether working with adults, children, or couples, I bring a unique approach to each session. In couples therapy, I blend Emotionally Focused Therapy with How We Love (attachment therapy) to reignite connection and intimacy. In child therapy, I utilize music therapy, drawing from my previous role as an Elementary Music Teacher.
In our sessions, I'll psycho-educate around trauma and attachment. We'll collaborate on goals aimed at bringing you more peace and connection in your life, while addressing trauma symptoms through action (not just talking in circles). I'll challenge faulty core beliefs from time to time as your advocate and hold space for all your emotions and experiences.
Together, we will sit, wrestle, and re-write hurt stories. We'll navigate life's hurts, helping you find your place in the symphony and rediscover your own rhythm. If you would like more information, please reach out for a free consultation where we can get to know each other. I am honored to start the journey with you towards healing and growth!
What I Do in My Free Time
When I am not in the therapy room, you can find me rollerblading on the beach, exploring a new local coffee shop, playing my guitar and making music, taking a spontaneous day trip somewhere new, or spending time with friends and family.
