If you've experienced abuse, assault, or trauma, you know the impact can feel overwhelming, affecting your sense of self, emotional wellbeing, and the relationships in your life. I specialize in supporting individuals healing from sexual, physical, emotional, or spiritual abuse and trauma, helping you rediscover freedom and connection. I also enjoy working with individuals exploring their gender or sexual identity and the LGBTQIA2S+ community, offering a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to process and grow. With nearly a decade of experience, I'm here to affirm that healing is possible.
I use EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support individuals healing from sexual assault/abuse, emotional/physical/spiritual abuse, trauma and PTSD, and relationship challenges. In addition to individual therapy, I also offer interpersonal process groups and EMDR Intensives for those seeking accelerated, focused healing.
Above all, I believe the therapist-client relationship is the foundation of effective therapy. Together, we'll foster a collaborative dynamic as we work to find an approach that feels right for you. I invite you to reach out via Psychology Today or my website to schedule a free 15-minute consultation or ask any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm trained in EMDR using the SAFE model (Somatic & Attachment Focused EMDR). It's important to me to use best practices in EMDR, approaching it with the care and consideration necessary to avoid re-traumatization and ensure a positive outcome. I'm also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).

Rather than a one-fits-all approach, it's important to me to get to know you and tailor our work together to your needs. Often, I call upon EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other methods. My goal is reduce symptoms quickly and support individuals in processing experiences. I also offer EMDR Intensives for people seeking focused healing in a shorter time frame.
