Unlock Healing with Somatic Attachment-Focused EMDR Therapy. Are you struggling with current or past pain and discomfort? I specialize in Somatic Attachment-Focused EMDR therapy, combining body-mind techniques to support healing. I also integrate the Safe and Sound Protocol and Neurofeedback into my practice. As a Certified EMDR Therapist and Approved Consultant, I work with young adults (16+) and adults facing recent trauma, Complex PTSD from unhealed childhood experiences, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depressive disorders, medical trauma, and more.

I combine Somatic Attachment-Focused EMDR therapy with Safe and Sound Protocol and Neurofeedback, offering a comprehensive, body-mind approach that addresses trauma from multiple angles. This integration allows for a more holistic treatment experience. Experience rapid, transformative results with customized EMDR Intensive packages, including weekends.

I work with families who have gone through a traumatic event. This specific group therapy uses the EMDR Group Traumatic Episode Protocol (G-TEP) to help process and heal from the shared experience. Through this structured approach, you will work together to address the event's emotional impact, build resilience, and support each other.
