I often combine approaches like EMDR and IFS parts work, which can really dig into the deeper stuff that traditional talk therapy might not fully get to.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( EMDR), which I have found to be an invaluable tool for treating trauma and PTSD. I am a Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist (ASDCS).

I am an EMDR-certified therapist and EMDRIA consultant-in-training who specializes in Complex PTSD, relational trauma, attachment wounds, and dissociation.
When past experiences go unresolved, they often surface in our relationships. My clients often experience with intense reactions, shutting down, fearing abandonment, or feeling anxious and disconnected without fully understand why. Or they might understand what’s happening on an intellectual level, yet still feel stuck trying to find deeper change. My approach to therapy is relational and deeply grounded in attunement. Being truly seen and understood is a big piece of this work. I go beyond surface level, hold the heavy stuff with you, and make sure to not only help make sense of it all..but actually get to the root.

I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or worn down, often when sex or intimacy has become stressful instead of connecting. Many people come in feeling embarrassed, discouraged, or unsure how to even start the conversation. In our work, we take shame out of the room and focus on creating a space that feels open, safe, and honest. You don’t need the right words or a clear plan, you can come exactly as you are, and we’ll figure it out together.

I use an integration of EMDR therapy, parts work, and attachment focused therapy to support clients in connecting with themselves internally to promote healing from within.
You know your reactions are not connected to the present, but you don't feel in control. You are always feeling stuck in patterns you thought you outgrew. I help adults who are ready to stop overthinking and start healing. Whether you're dealing with old wounds, messy thoughts, or just trying to make sense of why you keep doing that thing you swore you'd stop doing—we can work on it. Together. I use a down-to-earth, holistic approach that’s all about helping you understand you. That means getting curious, not judgmental, about your behavior, learning how to ride the emotional waves and unpack the noise and make sense of it all.
