Are you feeling overwhelmed by the weight of past experiences or stuck in cycles of anxiety that feel impossible to break? I support individuals navigating anxiety and deep-seated trauma who are ready to move from "just getting by" to true healing. Life’s challenges can feel like a relentless tide, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. I provide a specialized, evidence-based approach to help you process difficult emotions, quiet the inner critic, and regain a sense of calm and control in your daily life.
I specialize in transformative, trauma-informed care using EMDR, Brainspotting, and CBT. Integrating these powerful modalities with clinical hypnosis goes beyond traditional talk therapy to address how stress lives in both the mind and body. This holistic approach allows for deeper processing and more sustainable relief from your symptoms.
Taking the first step toward therapy is an act of immense courage. You deserve a space where you feel truly heard, seen, and supported without judgment. Whether you are seeking to heal from the past or find balance in the present, I am here to walk alongside you on that journey. When you’re ready to begin, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.

My approach integrates CBT, EMDR, and Brainspotting with clinical hypnosis to bridge the gap between mind and body. While we reframe negative thoughts through CBT, we use EMDR and Brainspotting to process stress where it lives in the nervous system. You can expect a calm, guided experience that goes beyond talk therapy to provide deep, neurological relief and a restored sense of peace.
