My Profile

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist and EMDR Clinician helping individuals and couples heal trauma, anxiety, relationships and nervous system dysregulation. I am Level 3 trained in Gottman Couples Therapy and am also an ICF Certified Coach. I became a Certified Laughter Yoga Leader because I saw the effects of trauma in my patients nervous system and was looking for more tools to help them self regulate and become happier. When we laugh, the message we are sending to our brain is that we are safe (after all, we wouldn't laugh if we are in danger, right?). That message turns down the amygdala, which is the "emergency" part of the brain, and turns up the frontal lobe, which is our "thinking and reasoning" part of the brain. The result is that we move from anxiety, fear and anger (fight or flight) to calm and wellbeing. And the best part is we do all of that while having fun!!!

I also do Public Speaking and Corporate Workshops
