—Accepting New Clients!— I specialize in working with college students and young professionals, using EMDR as my primary approach to help your brain finally process what’s been weighing you down. EMDR actively helps your nervous system move out of survival mode so you can think clearly, feel grounded, and respond with calm confidence instead of reactivity. Many clients experience meaningful shifts faster than they expected, because EMDR directly targets the root of the distress rather than circling around it.
In addition to EMDR, we will explore a variety of techniques to calm the storm, all from the comfort of your own space via telehealth. Our work will focus on healing the mind and getting you relief quickly by going beyond, “How do you feel about that?” while feeling low-key, comfortable, and authentic.
I know what it’s like to need a soft place to land, especially during big transitions like starting college, moving somewhere new, or navigating tough family dynamics. If you’re ready to understand your reactions, break free from old patterns, and actually feel better, I’d love to support you on your healing journey. Reach out today to get started!

Some folks prefer to focus on specific skills to cope with their symptoms, whereas others want to really get familiar with what's going on "beneath the surface." My goal is to make therapy feel digestible and relevant to the style that matches your personal preferences.
