“Integrating Science & Soul:" Trauma treatment that includes EMDR and depth therapy modalities because all trauma cannot be accessed via words. The brain protects the conscious mind from remembering details. Our limbic system continues to stay on High Alert for Danger. You may be carrying invisible wounds from childhood trauma, abuse, or overwhelming life events. Perhaps you struggle with anxiety, depression, difficulty concentrating, hypervigilance, flashbacks, nightmares, emotional numbness, and or repeating old patterns—and wonder, “Why can’t I just move on?” If so, you are not alone.

I specialize in treating PTSD and complex PTSD, bringing together the best of science and creativity. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as EMDR with experiential Gestalt, Body based Somatic, and/or non-verbal modalities like Sandtray. This allows both the thinking brain and the deeper, wordless layers of the self to heal.

Clients often say they feel deeply understood—both intellectually and emotionally—in our work. My goal is to help you move beyond survival mode into a life that feels safe, connected, and whole. If you’re ready to take the next step in healing, I invite you to reach out. You’ve carried so much on your own; now it’s time to be released from the pain.
