"It's not forgetting that heals. It's remembering." - Amy Greene. My area of focus is working with women and men who want to heal their mind and bodies from negative or traumatic experiences. Forgetting is not always an option because our bodies do remember. Common symptoms and complaints that can be related to traumatic events may be anxiety or depression, irritability and anger, frequent headaches, stomach-aches and fatigue. It can be difficult and overwhelming to reach out for support, but "forgetting" may no longer feel like an option for you.

I use EMDR therapy through a Trauma-Informed and Attachment-Based lens to help women process painful experiences, reduce emotional distress, and better understand the patterns keeping you stuck.
You may be the woman surviving in “go mode” — appearing capable and high functioning on the outside while internally carrying anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship stress, unresolved trauma, or a constant sense of overwhelm. Even while managing daily responsibilities, you are stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-doubt, people-pleasing, or disconnection from yourself and others, despite deeply wanting things to feel different. EMDR therapy helps reprocess painful and overwhelming experiences, so you no longer feel emotionally stuck in the past, creating space to move forward.

Using CBT, EMDR, and attachment-based therapy, I support clients in healing past experiences and building lasting emotional resilience.
I am trained in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). These approaches help identify unhelpful thoughts, how they connect to our emotions and behaviors, and how to cope with life stressors.

Does it look like you have it all together on the outside, but deep down you feel anxious, exhausted, or empty? It seems like happiness is something "out there" or baked into your next achievement, but when you actually get what you're striving for, the emptiness quickly returns? Or maybe you feel like something is "off" in your life, but you can't pinpoint exactly what it is? As a (recovering) perfectionist myself, I've been there & I get it. I have a passion for helping adults and adolescents deepen their connection to themselves to get to the root of symptoms such as chronic anxiety, perfectionism, & relational instability.
