Nice to meet you
Stepping into 2026 feeling drained or stuck? With Eclectic EMDR, I help creatives, professionals, and LGBTQ+ folks move through anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship patterns while building insight and real-world skills. We’ll uncover what’s underneath and create shifts that bring clarity and joy. Blending EMDR, psychodynamic work, CBT, DBT, and IFS, I support ambitious, sensitive clients, especially in entertainment, who want to feel grounded, seen, and empowered.

Interests
Outside of my clinical work, I find balance and joy through movement, creativity, and connection. I love practicing Pilates and dancing to stay grounded and energized. I’m also a devoted dog person and enjoy exploring new places, whether traveling abroad or discovering hidden gems locally. In my downtime, I unwind with great sitcoms and movies, appreciating storytelling that blends humor, humanity, and heart.
