Healing from trauma and challenging patterns can feel overwhelming and exhausting. You might face repeating cycles in relationships, struggles with boundaries, addiction, or intense emotions that feel unmanageable. I support adults in creating lasting change by blending EMDR, IFS-informed therapy, and psychodynamic approaches, exploring root causes and transforming old patterns. I also integrate somatic work, including Yin Yoga, to help you reconnect with your body and regulate emotions. You deserve to feel seen, understood, and supported on your healing journey.
I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck in trauma, painful relationship cycles, addiction, or disconnection. With couples, I help you break the patterns pulling you apart and rebuild safety and closeness. My approach blends EMDR, IFS, and somatic tools to support real, lasting change.
I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey, and my role is to walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow. Whether you’re dealing with trauma, navigating life transitions, or seeking support in relationships, I’m here to offer the tools and guidance you need to move forward. If you’re ready to begin, I’d love to connect.
