About Me

My first priority as a therapist is developing and maintaining a curative therapeutic alliance. I believe strongly in the healing properties of the therapeutic relationship as a corrective attachment experience. I integrate internal family systems/ego state therapy, attachment theory and polyvagal theory in my EMDR work. I believe that insight and awareness about the impacts of your past is a crucial step, but sustained change comes from mind-body approaches like EMDR that reprocess "stuck" emotions and return your nervous system to a regulated state. I specialize in working with complex trauma and dissociation, and am passionate about educating fellow clinicians and the general public about structural dissociation and challenging the limiting notion of a unified "self". In my free time, I can be found spending quality time with my partner and my cat and roller skating at a local skate park.
