Are you feeling overwhelmed by past traumas that seem to control your present? Do you find yourself trapped in cycles of behavior that you can't seem to break, no matter how hard you try? Perhaps you're struggling to connect deeply with others, or you're grappling with anxiety and depression that cloud your days. If any of this resonates with you, I want you to know that you're not alone, and there is hope. By taking this step to search for a therapist, you've already shown incredible courage. It's the first stride on a healing journey, and I'm honored to be considered to walk alongside you.
I specialize in sex addiction, betrayal trauma, and complex trauma recovery. My approach centers on nervous system regulation as the foundation for healing. I help clients overcome compulsive behaviors, process betrayal, and find relief from trauma symptoms through body-based techniques that promote lasting change and emotional balance.
If you're struggling with addiction, betrayal, or trauma, know that you're not alone. The pain and shame you feel can be overwhelming, but healing is possible. I've walked this path with many others, and I'm here to support you too. Whether you're feeling stuck, lost, or desperate for change, reaching out is the first step toward hope.
