Do you feel like you've been carrying more than you can hold, simply trying to make it through each day? Maybe anxiety, worry, depression, or grief has become difficult to shake. You don't have to navigate this alone. I specialize in helping adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem who feel who feel stuck or disconnected from themselves. I also support adults navigating grief, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. My approach is warm and collaborative, and grounded in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, neurodiversity-affirming, and strengths-based framework.
EMDR is one of the primary approaches I use alongside CBT, ACT, Narrative Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and DBT to support clients. Depending on your goals , our work may involve developing practical tools and coping strategies, processing and integrating painful experiences, increasing self-compassion, to support you in reconnecting with yourself.
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable. It is natural to wonder if someone can understand everything you've been carrying on your own. Healing often begins when we feel truly seen, understood, and accepted. My hope is to help you move from surviving to feeling more connected, confident, and at peace within yourself.

I draw from EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to support healing in a way that fits your unique needs. Rather than following a single method, I thoughtfully integrate different approaches to help you build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and create lasting change.
