Living with the effects of trauma or addiction can feel exhausting and isolating. You may feel on edge, emotionally numb, overwhelmed by intrusive memories, or disconnected from yourself and others. Even when the trauma is in the past, your body and mind may still feel stuck in survival mode. You may want relief from anxiety, fear, or shame, but also feel unsure how to move forward. At your core, you’re seeking safety, understanding, and a way to feel grounded, present, and in control of your life again. You do not have to do this alone. As your therapist, it is my goal to support you in your journey towards growth and healing.
I walk alongside clients with compassion and practical support as they heal, rebuild, and reconnect with their strengths. As a trained EMDR therapist, I help clients process painful experiences, reduce emotional distress, and develop resilience. My focus is on meaningful, lasting change that supports long-term recovery and emotional well-being.
I take a person-centered, integrative approach, tailoring therapy to your unique needs while blending evidence-based practices with warmth and authenticity. In our early sessions, we’ll explore your story, current challenges, and goals so we can begin moving toward a life that feels more grounded, balanced, and fulfilling.
