Are you feeling stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift, no matter how much insight you have? You may feel overwhelmed by your emotions, or the opposite: numb, disconnected, or shut down. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before, but something still isn’t clicking. You understand the “why,” but it doesn’t translate into real change. You want to feel calmer, more in control, and able to respond to life instead of constantly reacting.
I specialize in trauma-focused therapy using approaches like EMDR and other brain- and body-based methods. My work focuses on helping you process past experiences in a way that feels manageable, without becoming overwhelmed or shut down, so you can begin to experience real, lasting change.
Together, we’ll process what’s been held in your system, uncover patterns that keep you stuck, and build your capacity to feel more regulated and connected. I also work with couples to identify and shift relational patterns, improve communication, and strengthen connection.
