Welcome—you have found a space where your experiences will be heard, understood, and met with compassion. You may appear capable on the outside while quietly feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns you cannot seem to change. Together, we can explore what lies beneath your symptoms and develop healthier ways of coping. I offer a person-centered approach using modalities including EMDR, experiential therapy, sandtray, and nervous-system regulation to help you move toward greater confidence, connection, hope, and freedom.
I treat all mental illness including PTSD and complex PTSD, bringing together the best of science and creativity. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as EMDR with experiential Gestalt, Body based Somatic, and/or non-verbal modalities like Sandtray. This allows both the thinking brain and the deeper, wordless layers of the self to heal.
Clients often say they feel deeply understood—both intellectually and emotionally—in our work. My goal is to help you move beyond survival mode into a life that feels safe, connected, and whole.
If you’re ready to take the next step in healing, I invite you to reach out. You’ve carried so much on your own; now it’s time to be released from the pain.
