You’re high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, on edge, or emotionally shut down inside. Your body reacts before your mind can catch up. Past experiences still show up as overthinking, tension, or emotional distance. In your relationship, you may feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnected, or trying to rebuild trust after infidelity. You want real relief, not just insight, and lasting change instead of another coping strategy.
I specialize in trauma therapy for women and couples using EMDR, attachment-based, and nervous-system informed approaches. I help clients work through anxiety, PTSD symptoms, relationship conflict, and betrayal by addressing what’s driving reactions beneath the surface, so patterns shift, safety increases, and connection feels possible again.
If you’re ready for deeper work that goes beyond talking it through, I invite you to reach out. I offer a free consultation to help you decide if this feels like the right fit. Email me to schedule and take the first step toward meaningful change.

Therapy is a safe space to process pain, rebuild trust, and find healing. For trauma, I use EMDR to help you move forward with confidence. With couples, I use the Gottman Method to improve communication and strengthen connection. If you're facing infidelity, we'll work toward understanding, rebuilding trust, and restoring intimacy. My approach integrates faith and evidence-based techniques.
