When you’ve experienced childhood trauma, the past often feels like it’s constantly intruding on the present. You may function well externally while struggling with deep-seated shame, nervous system dysregulation, or a disconnect from your body. I help adults heal these wounds through a professional, collaborative, and compassionate lens. While I support clients through all forms of complex trauma, I have a dedicated focus on helping survivors of childhood sexual abuse navigate the unique layers of healing required to reclaim their lives.

Using EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS informed, and Ketamine assisted psychotherapy (partnered with prescriber) I help clients process traumatic memories stored in the brain and body. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, offering gender-affirming letter evaluations and judgment-free support for navigating intimacy concerns and non traditional relationship dynamics.

Healing starts with a safe, respectful connection. We will discuss your history and goals at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Expect a warm, professional space where we identify your specific roadblocks. You’ll leave our first meeting with a clear plan for moving forward and a renewed sense of direction. Couples sessions are private pay only.

I work with clients who are struggling with managing symptoms of trauma and dissociation. During our first visit. we will discuss your treatment, trauma, and psychosocial history as a means to gain an in depth understanding of the areas you want to work on. We will create a plan to increase your distress tolerance in the here and now, identify the origins of your triggers, and reprocess memories.
