You have been carrying the weight of trauma, anxiety, or a major life change for too long. You have tried pushing through but the same patterns keep pulling you back. You want more than surface level talk. You want tools that actually work and a path to real change. I am fully trained in EMDR with certification in progress and I use it alongside polyvagal informed therapy to help you rewire old patterns, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with your authentic self.

I use EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths Based Therapy, and Polyvagal tools. In our first session we will look at what brought you here and choose the best path forward. You will learn how your thoughts, emotions, and body responses connect as we build tools to process trauma, reduce distress, and regain a sense of control.
