Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed by emotions, or disconnected in your relationships? Do you find yourself coping in ways that don’t truly ease the pain? I work with trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, emotional dysregulation, addictions, chronic pain, and ADHD. My approach goes beyond surface-level changes—I focus on healing the root causes of suffering. I have a special interest in trauma, attachment, and EMDR therapy, helping clients find lasting relief and deeper connection.
Trauma therapy helps you release pain and heal by processing difficult experiences. I understand how hard it can be to trust or connect after betrayal. My goal is to support you in accessing your inner strength and reconnecting with your authentic self.
I bring optimism, hope, and playfulness (when it fits) into therapy. As a Registered Psychotherapist and trained EMDR therapist, I’m passionate about helping clients heal from trauma and build fulfilling lives. Let's connect - book a free 20-minute consultation today.
