You’ve survived deep wounds: abuse that has shaped how you see yourself, your relationships, and the world. Maybe you struggle with overwhelming emotions, dissociation, panic, or feeling disconnected from your body & identity. You might find yourself in unhealthy relationships, battling self-doubt, or feeling like healing is out of reach. But trauma does not define you. I specialize in supporting survivors of sexual, physical, & emotional abuse reclaim their sense of self using EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, and a relational, psychodynamic approach. With nearly a decade of experience, I am here to affirm that healing is possible.

I provide a deeply attuned, trauma-informed space where you can explore your experiences without fear or shame. Whether you're navigating dissociation, DPDR, anxiety, panic attacks, or personality adaptations rooted in trauma, I'm here to help you reconnect with yourself. I also offer EMDR intensives for those seeking focused healing in a shorter time frame.

Healing is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to break free from the patterns of trauma and reclaim your life, reach out today via Psychology Today or my website for a 15 minute consultation to discuss how I might support you. I look forward to hearing from you!
