You know your reactions don’t make sense. You’ve read the books and you recognize your patterns. You overthink, shut down, stay on high alert, or keep replaying what happened. Insight alone hasn’t changed those reactions and you’re still finding yourself stuck in the same patterns. I help adults who understand their patterns, but can’t change them on their own. Many of my clients come in saying, "What if something goes wrong?" “I don’t even recognize myself anymore," and “I avoid anything that reminds me of what happened.” And through this work, they leave feeling clear-minded, empowered, and grounded.
Using EMDR therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Strengths-Based approaches, I help clients understand why those patterns exist and process the experiences that continue to keep them stuck.
Therapy with me focuses on understanding why those patterns developed and helping the brain process experiences that continue to affect everyday life. The goal isn't simply feeling better for a week—it's creating lasting change in how you think, feel, and respond. If that’s what you’ve been looking for, you're in the right place.

EMDR is one of my primary treatment approaches and is thoughtfully integrated with CBT, attachment-based, narrative, person-centered, and strength-based therapies. This allows treatment to be individualized while addressing both present-day symptoms and the experiences that may be contributing to them.
