I empower others to live the life they imagine. I am passionate about working alongside those on a journey towards healing, whether from internal struggle, grief, or significant trauma leading to low mood or anxiety. I am qualified in the judicial system as an expert in family and trauma therapy. I am a certified EMDR therapist and consultant -started in 2010. My focus is to strengthen your core sense of self to disrupt negative internal dialogue, memories and somatic responses that lead to distress. In family work, I focus on secure attachment patterns, and increasing attunment and co-regulation between a child and caregiver(s). I believe the mind and body are connected and that in processing thoughts (or core beliefs of self) it’s important to work on somatic cues in the body to shift patterns of avoidance, depression, stress, and hyper vigilance. I will help you see how past and present stressors lead to certain behaviors in your relational and environmental dynamics. I have two children, three months apart - we brought our youngest home from India through international adoption. My partner shares their birth story through adoption. The process has taught me to be a patient and attune with my children in our moments of connection and joy as we embrace our family’s multicultural traditions and values.
