Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve spent a long time managing on your own, holding things together, or feeling like you need to “be strong.” I work primarily with individuals impacted by trauma, including complex, developmental, and relational trauma. Many appear functional on the outside while feeling constantly tense, overwhelmed, numb, or emotionally exhausted inside. They are seeking more than symptom relief—they want to understand how trauma has shaped them, feel safer in their bodies, and regain a sense of control, connection, and meaning in their lives.

I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy grounded in EMDR, DBT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. My work focuses on emotional regulation, nervous system safety, and gently processing unresolved experiences. I support clients in building stability, understanding trauma responses, and creating meaningful, sustainable change at their own pace.

If you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time, you don’t have to keep doing it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you’ve been through. You’re welcome to reach out when you’re ready.
