It’s about shifting the patterns that have kept you stuck in survival mode, feeling on edge, irritable, anxious, unable to sleep, disconnected from loved ones, hyper-independent, trapped in people pleasing and fearful of boundaries.

With nearly two decades of experience working with trauma, I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective, evidence-based treatment for trauma, recognized by the World Health Organization and widely used by Veterans Affairs for PTSD recovery.

So, to make the hard work of therapy worthwhile, I will collaborate with you to uncover what makes your unique life meaningful.

So, we can live well, eat well, and sleep well.
Sometimes life seems difficult, and we may feel like nothing is working. We may feel lonely, isolated, filled with self-doubt, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, hopeless, and helpless. We long for connections, while afraid of being hurt. We hope that someone can listen to us and validate our emotions, suffering, and struggles; we hope to be seen, heard, and cared for. However, it can be scary to reach out for support, showing our vulnerabilities and not knowing how others will respond to them. My wish is to create a safe space for you to share your experiences, struggles, and emotions. I am here to be with you and listen to you.
