Therapists in Jacksonville, FL
Healing is like peeling an onion—each layer removed uncovers a new depth of understanding and growth. As a trauma-focused therapist trained in EMDR, I specialize in helping adults address PTSD, C-PTSD, and trauma-related challenges. EMDR therapy helps process and integrate past trauma to reduce its impact on your present life. My approach combines psychodynamic and relational theories to explore how past experiences shape current behaviors. I provide inclusive, strength-based care in a safe, non-judgmental space, supporting survivors, neurodivergent individuals, and the LGBTQIA+ community.
