Greetings, Welcoming new clients for Fall 2026. Virtual and in person appointments available.
You don't have to stay stuck in the past. Healing from past trauma is possible with EMDR therapy. Living with trauma can feel like you are constantly on high alert, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Flashbacks, anxiety, and painful memories can make it incredibly difficult to feel safe in your own body or trust the world around you.
I specialize in treating PTSD using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. EMDR is a specialized, evidence-based approach that helps your brain naturally reprocess traumatic memories. Instead of just talking about the past, we work together to take the painful "sting" out of those memories so they no longer control your present day.
