Unpack, Unlearn, Explore, Evolve.

I help you identify the patterns holding you back, unlearn outdated beliefs, and step into a new version of yourself.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma and distressing experiences. By using guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation, EMDR helps reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories, allowing you to gain clarity and move forward with greater peace and resilience.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative therapy that helps you explore and heal the different parts of yourself. By fostering curiosity and compassion for your inner world, IFS guides you to uncover and address past wounds, creating balance and harmony within. This approach empowers you to access your core Self, fostering deeper healing, clarity, and personal growth.

  • Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between the mind and body to promote healing and well-being. By addressing physical sensations, tension, and emotional patterns, this approach helps release stored stress or trauma and fosters deeper self-awareness. Through gentle techniques like breathwork, movement, and mindfulness, somatic therapy empowers you to reconnect with your body, process emotions, and build resilience for a healthier, more balanced life

  • Financial therapy addresses the emotional and psychological aspects of your relationship with money. By exploring your beliefs, habits, and patterns around finances, this approach helps reduce stress, improve decision-making, and foster a healthier connection to money. Financial therapy empowers you to align your financial goals with your values for greater confidence and peace of mind.
