how I work

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)

Humans are complex. Consider that while a part of you may be fully engaged at work, another part of you can feel really anxious and overwhelmed by your job. Or while you may love your partner, a part of you gets really angry really fast and that part feels hard to control.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) views humans as a complex collection of parts that make a whole, much like a family is made of individual members who interact with each other. IFS offers an evidence-based approach to understanding and healing these parts of ourselves where we struggle. You can create a life that feels more balanced, calm, and centered.

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)

EMDR is the primary tool that I use with clients to heal trauma, as well as to treat anxiety and other issues. Years of research has shown it to be highly effective in dealing with traumatic events, disturbing memories, and other emotionally charged experiences. EMDR uses bilateral stimulation (BLS) in the form of taps, tones or lights to stimulate your brain to reprocess traumatic memories. BLS, which happens naturally during dream sleep, speeds up your brain's ability to process and heal from troubling memories. This healing process allows you to feel more calm, integrated and to live a richer, fuller life.
