You may have already tried therapy, self-help, or just sheer strength to get through your days—and yet something still feels painful or out of reach. Maybe you find yourself overwhelmed by emotions, afraid of being abandoned, or stuck in patterns that you don’t understand but can’t seem to stop. These are often the echoes of trauma, and they make perfect sense once we slow down and listen to what your body and emotions are trying to say.
I specialize in complex trauma and often work with people who experience anxiety, emotional intensity, self-blame, or relationship patterns tied to attachment wounds. I am also uniquely prepared to support clients' journeys through hospitalization, PHP, and IOP.
I know what it’s like because I’ve been there. I know you are struggling, trying to find your way through hell. I know what it’s like to pick up the pieces once again and reengage in life despite uncertainty. Together, we’ll build a foundation of safety, compassion, and self-trust—so that healing feels possible.

I work with those who may struggle with trauma, stress, or regulating emotions. During our initial sessions, we will discuss your history with your family of origin, relationships, and goals. Using trauma-focused approaches, we will create a specific treatment plan that fits you. Recovery is not always a linear process, but I will be with you every step of the way.

I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is an evidence-based, mind/body, trauma-focused therapy. In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) we learn to use mindfulness, regulate emotions, employ strategies to manage crises, and communicate effectively. I believe in the relationship between client and therapist and the potential for change that lives within all of us.
