My website
Life can feel heavy when past trauma, anxiety, or shame keep you stuck in painful patterns. Therapeutically, I help the brain and body process overwhelming emotions, intrusive memories, and the impact of difficult relationships. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative — creating a safe space where you feel understood and not judged. Together we work not only to ease symptoms but to reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and move towards a more meaningful life. I have a special interest in supporting those affected by childhood adversity, relational trauma, and the lasting imprints of abuse or neglect.
I offer trauma-focused therapy that integrates EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) within a compassionate, trauma-informed framework. My focus is on helping you process painful experiences safely, reduce distress, and build resilience, so you can move towards a life that feels more meaningful and whole.
I understand that taking the step to seek support can feel daunting, especially when you’ve been carrying so much on your own. You don’t have to go through this journey alone. In our work together, we move at a pace that feels safe for you, creating space for healing, growth, and the possibility of living with greater ease, confidence, and connection.

I offer 80-minute sessions instead of the standard 50-minute ones, as trauma work needs more space. Longer sessions allow deeper processing of emotions and memories without feeling rushed, creating the safety and time needed for meaningful healing.
