If past experiences continue to affect your emotions, relationships, or sense of safety, therapy can help. Trauma—whether from a single event, childhood experiences, attachment wounds, relational pain, or chronic stress—can show up as anxiety, hypervigilance, overwhelm, dissociation, people-pleasing, or difficulty trusting yourself and others. Together, we’ll explore how these experiences impact your mind and body, identify patterns that may no longer serve you, build emotional regulation skills, restore a sense of safety, and create greater stability, connection, confidence, and healing in daily life.
I help individuals heal from complex trauma, single-incident trauma, and attachment wounds. In a safe, supportive space, clients process trauma, regulate emotions and nervous system responses, restore a sense of safety, and build resilience, stability, and healthier relationships using trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches, including EMDR.
Healing from trauma can feel overwhelming and isolating, but you don’t have to face it alone. In a compassionate, supportive space, clients process trauma, regulate nervous system responses, restore safety, and build resilience. You deserve understanding, support, and the chance to feel more grounded, connected, and whole.

I use trauma-focused and attachment-based modalities in my practice. In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and collaborate on the best approach for your needs. If trauma is a focus, I often incorporate EMDR to help reprocess memories and shift negative cognitions. For children, I incorporate play therapy to facilitate healing in a supportive and engaging way.
