You may look like you have it handled, but underneath, you feel stuck in patterns you cannot think your way out of. Maybe you overthink, struggle to trust yourself, feel disconnected in relationships, or keep reacting in ways you understand but cannot seem to change. My ideal clients are ready to go beyond coping and understand what is driving the pattern so they can finally move forward.
I specialize in EMDR therapy and Ketamine Assisted-EMDR for trauma, attachment wounds, and patterns that have not shifted with traditional talk therapy. As an EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDR International Association Approved Consultant, I integrate mindfulness, attachment, somatic, and parts work within an EMDR framework to support deeper, lasting change.
You do not need to be at a breaking point to begin therapy. Sometimes, you simply know the way you have been carrying things is no longer working. If you are ready to understand what is underneath the pattern and work toward meaningful change, I invite you to reach out. We can explore whether my approach is the right fit for you.
