Great to meet you!

Whether you're navigating the aftermath of a specific event or the accumulation of chronic stress and emotional pain, therapy can help you find clarity, relief, and a renewed sense of self. I specialize in working with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected due to unresolved trauma or life challenges. I have extensive experience with helping survivors of domestic violence, sexual abuse, neglect, complex trauma and PTSD.

My approach to therapy

I am an EMDR Certified Therapist, trained at the highest standard for implementing this powerful approach to help the brain and body process trauma. I also incorporate the Flash technique, a gentle and effective method for easing the emotional intensity of painful memories. My therapeutic style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in authenticity.

What you can expect from me

Healing looks different for everyone. Together, we’ll work at your pace, focusing on what feels most important to you. Whether you're just beginning your healing journey or looking to go deeper, I’m here to support you.
