You’ve worked hard to heal- so why does it still feel so far out of reach? Healing from past trauma is so much more than “making sense” out of what happened. So often, just talking through things is only part of the work, and can leave you feeling frustrated. After all, you show up every week and put in the work, shouldn’t you be “over it” by now? Many clients tell me, ‘I know I shouldn’t blame myself or let this get to me—but I still do.’ That’s not because they’re doing anything wrong. It’s because trauma doesn’t just live in Talking alone doesn’t always reach those places.
That’s where I come in. I help clients release the lingering effects of trauma—mind and body—so they can reconnect with the parts of themselves that have felt blocked. Together, we create a safe, welcoming space for real healing and growth.
Trauma is a unique experience, and working through it requires unique tools. If this work sounds interesting to you, let’s find a time for a quick chat to see if we’re a good fit!

I work with clients to reprocess and release past traumas, especially parents and those in the helping professions who find issues from their past make it hard to show up as their best self in the present. In our work, we'll explore how the tough things from your past are stored in your brain and body. We'll work to help you release those past events so you can be freer, happier, and more present.

I primarily use Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in my practice. Both modalities work to integrate our thoughts, feelings, and body sensations to reprocess past traumas, exploring the past roots of how we feel and act in the present.
