Specialized Trauma Therapy for Professionals and Therapists — In Person Are you a professional—or even a therapist yourself—looking for a trauma therapist who truly understands complex emotional wounds? You may find yourself replaying painful memories instead of sleeping, easily triggered, or overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety or depression. You’re not just looking for coping tools. You want deep, lasting change and relief from the emotional and physical impact of past trauma. Many of the people who walk through my door say things like, “Other people have it worse.” Your story matters. Your pain is valid, and healing is possible.
Since 2013, I’ve helped clients navigate PTSD, anxiety, and emotional reactivity. My practice focuses exclusively on trauma therapy using EMDR, a powerful and research-backed approach. I specialize in working with clients who’ve been in traditional talk therapy and still feel stuck. If thinking about past events still causes your body to react, I can help.
You deserve a space to process trauma safely—so your past no longer defines your present. I provide in-person EMDR therapy in a supportive environment where your experiences are heard and respected. EMDR is a research-supported approach that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, reducing emotional reactivity and promoting real, lasting relief.
