People can heal from trauma. But you don't have to do this alone. People pleasing, relationship stress, anger, chronic pain, addictions, shame, insecurity; just a few ways trauma tends to show itself in your life. When people decide to get curious about how the wounding moments in life have impacted their self-worth and worldview, then healing can occur. You deserve to heal. And you deserve support through this process. I help people let go of shame, rediscover who they are, and find reasons to smile again. I would be honored to help discover what healing looks like for you, should you choose to no longer travel that path alone.
I specialize in therapies beyond traditional talk therapy. If you've found limited symptom relief from talk therapy, perhaps consider something new. I'm an EMDR certified therapist, EMDR consultant in training, and Usui Reiki Master. I use Mindfulness based, Expressive Arts, IFS- informed methods and body-based healing methods in my trauma- focused work.
It's of utmost importance to me that you leave your session feeling seen, heard, and valued for the truly unique and deserving person that you are. You can borrow the compassion I give you while learning to give yourself some grace and compassion of your own. And regardless of which treatment path we choose to embark on together; I'll meet you where you are.

Chances are, if you have a negative belief about yourself or the world and it's greatly impacting your happiness, there is a wound from your past that needs some care and attention. I would like to help with that.

I use EMDR therapy, IFS-informed methods, expressive arts and body-based practices in my trauma-focused work. Trauma impacts our nervous system, storing itself in our cells. My purpose is to help you release that trauma with safety; to help you rediscover your authenticity and live a life with power over your triggers. And I'll provide you with a bunch of tools to take back home with you, too.
