Feel more calm, present, and connected in your life & relationships.
EMDR, IFS, and nervous system-informed therapy for adults in Maryland who are ready for lasting change - not just symptom management.
IN-PERSON IN BEL AIR & ONLINE ACROSS MARYLAND
Maybe you’ve already tried to heal…
If that sounds familiar- YOU’RE NOT ALONE. Lasting healing often requires more than insight - it also involves helping your brain and nervous system process experiences in a different way.
You’ve talked about what happened.
You’ve learned coping skills.
You understood your patterns.
But part of you still feels stuck.
A deeper approach to healing
EMDR Therapy helps your brain and body process the experiences that are driving your reactions - so change isn’t something you UNDERSTAND, but something you FEEL.
This work focuses on helping you feel more regulated, more present, and more connected in your daily life.
Understand
We identify patterns, triggers, and what’s beneath them.
2. Process
Using EMDR, we help your nervous system process what’s been stuck.
3. Integrate
You begin to respond differently - more calm, more choice.

A Few Common Questions
-
Not at all. You don't need to decide which therapy approach is best before reaching out. During our consultation and first few sessions, we'll talk about what brings you in, your goals, and what you've already tried. Together, we'll determine whether EMDR, IFS, or another approach is the best fit for your needs. My priority is creating a plan that feels supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you.
-
Many of my clients have had therapy before and gained valuable insight, but still find themselves repeating the same emotional patterns. Understanding why something happens is important, but lasting change often involves helping your brain and nervous system process experiences differently.
That's why I integrate EMDR and other nervous system-informed approaches that go beyond talking alone. My goal is to help you create meaningful change—not just understand your experiences intellectually.
-
Yes. I offer secure online therapy for adults throughout Maryland, as well as in-person sessions in Bel Air.
Many clients find virtual therapy to be just as effective as meeting in person. Whether you choose online or in-person sessions, you'll receive the same thoughtful, personalized care.
-
Absolutely. You don't need to have a clear memory of every experience for therapy to be helpful. Many people know they feel anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck without fully understanding why. Therapy isn't about forcing memories—it's about helping you understand your current experiences, build a greater sense of safety, and create lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
-
The first step is scheduling a free consultation. This is an opportunity for us to briefly discuss what you're looking for, answer any questions you have, and determine whether working together feels like the right fit.
If we decide to move forward, we'll schedule your intake session and begin creating a plan that supports your goals for healing.
FOR THERAPISTS
Grow your confidence & effectiveness in EMDR & trauma therapy.
Whether you're pursuing EMDR certification, working toward becoming a consultant, or seeking support with complex trauma cases, consultation provides a space for deeper learning, reflection, and professional growth.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in both advanced EMDR training and nervous system-based approaches to healing. I can help you learn to integrate IFS, Polyvagal, & Somatic approaches into your EMDR practice for your most complex cases.
Healing doesn’t happen because you try harder.
It happens when your brain and nervous system finally have the opportunity to process what they've been carrying.
If you're ready for therapy that goes deeper than insight alone, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
