I work with adolescents and young adults navigating PTSD, childhood and relational trauma, including emotional or physical abuse, neglect, family dysfunction, attachment wounds, and difficult relationships. Clients may struggle with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, self-esteem, identity, or relationship patterns shaped by past experiences. I provide a warm, collaborative space to process trauma, build emotional regulation and self-trust, and develop healthier relationships. Using EMDR, IFS, CBT, and ACT, I help clients move forward with greater confidence and connection.
I specialize in trauma-focused therapy for adolescents and young adults experiencing PTSD, childhood and relational trauma, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Using EMDR, IFS, CBT, and ACT, I help clients process difficult experiences, build healthy coping skills, and move forward with greater confidence.
You don’t have to navigate PTSD, trauma, anxiety, or difficult relationships alone. Therapy can provide a safe space to feel understood, process painful experiences, and begin healing. I’d be honored to help you better understand yourself, develop healthier coping skills, heal from the past, and build a future that feels more like your own.
