Effective, short-term EMDR for complex childhood trauma, abuse, and neglect. A focused, high-impact investment in your long-term peace. We don’t get to choose what happens to us as children, and we can grow up in environments that fell short of supporting our unique needs. I provide focused, short-term EMDR therapy to help you safely leave those painful childhood experiences behind you—without spending years in traditional talk therapy. If your story involves childhood abuse, neglect, abandonment, bullying, family dysfunction, or other trauma, please reach out.
If you struggle with self-doubt, attachment problems, depression, anxiety, anger, borderline traits, or PTSD, I want to help. As a therapist with over a decade of experience, I am certified in EMDR with advanced training specifically in treating complex trauma. Our work is highly targeted over a few months to resolve these painful symptoms at the root.
I absolutely love helping people break free from old patterns and reclaim their peace. My practice is designed for individuals who are ready to make a dedicated, short-term investment in their mental well-being. Together, we will collaborate closely in a safe, supportive space to fast-track your healing so you can feel grounded in your life today.
