You’re ready for change. You’re tired of anxiety and the weight of past trauma holding you back—whether from a single event or developmental experiences that shaped how you see yourself and the world. You feel it in your body: chest tightness, hypervigilance, or intrusive memories. As an EMDR Consultant-in-Training, I help clients move beyond symptom management to actual trauma resolution. Through EMDR therapy—a research-backed approach that processes traumatic memories at the neurological level—we target the root cause, not just surface symptoms. I offer weekly EMDR sessions and intensives (3-6 hour formats) for accelerated healing
My practice centers on EMDR therapy for trauma resolution. I integrate trauma-focused interventions and somatic awareness to help you process experiences that still impact daily life. I work with complex PTSD, developmental trauma, and single-incident trauma. I offer both weekly EMDR sessions and intensive formats (3-6 hours) for accelerated healing.
Reaching out is hard when trauma has taught you people aren’t safe. You might wonder if real change is possible or if you’ll stay stuck forever. You won’t. EMDR targets trauma at the neurological level, creating lasting relief. Whether you choose weekly sessions or an intensive for accelerated work, you deserve expert care. Let’s connect.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Both modalities are available in-person and on-line. EMDR intensive therapy sessions (not covered by insurance) are a great option for those who would like to heal at an accelerated rate and/or who have trouble finding the time in their schedule to commit to therapy on a weekly-to-biweekly basis.
