If you’re living with the pain of religious trauma, complex PTSD, OCD, or a strained relationship with food and your body, you may feel disconnected from yourself, from others, or from your values. That disconnection can make daily life feel overwhelming and leave you unsure of where to turn. Therapy can be a supportive space to begin rebuilding those connections. In our work together, I will meet you where you are with empathy and non-judgment, while helping you move toward the life you want to live.
In my work with clients I often use EMDR (working toward level 2 certification), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (ECFT). I also integrate CBT techniques for tinnitus or hyperacusis. My style is collaborative and relational - I believe therapy works best when we tailor it to your needs, values, and strengths.
Having navigated my own journey through trauma and OCD with the support of skilled therapists, I understand how important it is to feel safe, heard, and respected in the therapy process. I offer a free 15-minute consultation call, or would be happy to communicate through email together to explore the approaches that might be most helpful for you.
