Individual Therapy for All Ages
I offer individual therapy for children, teens, and adults using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, CBT, CPT, TF-CBT, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. My approach is eclectic, meaning I tailor each session to your unique needs, goals, and preferences.
I’m LGBTQIA+ affirming and love working with neurodivergent individuals, especially those who may be navigating trauma, PTSD, mood disorders, low motivation, or challenges with focus. Whatever you're facing, therapy is a space where you don’t have to go through it alone.
Therapy Dog
Buzz is an F2B Goldendoodle born in 2022. He’s gentle, friendly, and always ready to offer comfort. Whether he’s playing fetch, sharing space, or quietly sitting at your feet during a tough session, Buzz brings a calm and supportive presence.
When he’s not at the office, you can usually find him hanging out at home with his best friend, Mac the cat, or spending the day at doggy daycare with his best pals. Buzz loves treats, belly rubs, and being part of the healing process, one tail wag at a time.
What is EMDR Therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a well-researched, effective therapy that helps both children and adults heal from upsetting life experiences. Sometimes when something hard or scary happens, the brain doesn’t fully process the memory, and it can get “stuck.” This can show up later as big feelings, anxiety, fear, or self-doubt.
EMDR helps the brain “unstick” these memories so that they no longer feel as upsetting or overwhelming. During EMDR, I guide clients to think about difficult memories while using gentle back-and-forth movements (like eye movements, tapping, or sounds) to help the brain process and release them. The memory isn’t erased — but it becomes easier to think about without strong emotional reactions.
How EMDR and Play Therapy Work Together
When working with children, I often combine EMDR with play therapy — because play is a child’s natural way of making sense of their world. Through art, storytelling, games, sandtray, or movement, children can process difficult experiences in a safe and supportive way.
Integrating EMDR into play therapy allows children to access and work through hard feelings at their own pace, in ways that feel familiar and comfortable to them. This gentle and playful approach helps children build resilience and regain a sense of safety and confidence.
EMDR can be helpful for:
• Trauma and stressful life events
• Anxiety and fears
• Grief and loss
• Negative self-beliefs
• Behavior challenges linked to emotional distress
• Attachment wounds
