Experiencing anxiety or the aftermath of trauma? You want to enjoy life, live to the fullest and be satisfied. Yet, anxiety or difficult life experiences are weighing you down. You no longer enjoy the things you used to, or you struggle to do what you want. You try to push through, but as time goes by, anxiety grows, spreads, and takes control. You see, anxiety and trauma are vicious. If left unaddressed, they can cripple you and leave you feeling paralyzed. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. That's where I come in. I can help you navigate challenging experiences and move toward a place where you feel like yourself again.

I specialize in providing EMDR therapy and EMDR Intensives to motivated adults ready to heal from the effects of anxiety and trauma, experience emotional stability, and improve daily functioning. EMDR works by helping your mind process painful memories so that you can feel safe and secure again. Many people notice a sense of relief after just a few sessions.

I know how overwhelming anxiety and traumatic events can feel, but I also know that healing is possible. Let's work together to reclaim the real you. I’m proud to work with diverse clients, including BIPOC, Latinx, and Spanish-speaking communities. Take the first step today. Schedule a free phone consultation or visit my website for more details.
