You’re moving through life waiting for the floor to drop out. On the outside, you’re the responsible one, the cycle-breaker, the professional who handles it all. But inside? You’re vibrating with anxiety or totally numb. You’ve intellectualized your trauma—you know why you are this way—but your body didn't get the damn memo. You want to stop feeling like a prisoner to your own history. You want to wake up without the dread and stop the 2 a.m. mental replay reel. You don't just want to survive the week; you want to live without waiting for everything to go to shit.
I specialize in the heavy shit that other therapists may shy away from. Using EMDR and somatic work, we go straight to the root of the trauma—whether that’s sexual abuse, a mass casualty event, your own parent being your first bully, or the heaviness of working as a helping professional. No sugarcoating, no bullshit—just real release.
It takes a hell of a lot of courage to look at the things that hurt you, but you don’t have to carry that shit forever. I offer a space where you can finally exhale and become the version of yourself that isn't defined by what happened to you. If you’re done fighting a war inside your own head, let’s talk. You deserve a life that actually feels like yours.
