I am an EMDR-certified therapist with training in IFS and perinatal mental health care.
Using EMDR, we can gently process painful memories and experiences that continue to impact you today, often without needing to relive them in detail. Through an IFS-informed lens, we’ll get to know the different “parts” of you—protective, wounded, or overwhelmed—with curiosity and care, rather than criticism.

You may find yourself feeling stuck in painful relational patterns, overwhelmed by emotion, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you’re navigating betrayal, life transitions, or tension in your marriage. You want clarity, steadiness, and a deeper understanding of why you react the way you do. More than coping, you want growth, healthier relationships, and a stronger, more grounded version of yourself.
