Real Relief from Anxiety, Overwhelm, & Trauma Through EMDR & Trauma-informed Care On the outside, you look like you have it all under control, but on the inside, your mind is racing, hyper-vigilant, or exhausted by constant anxiety and self-doubt. When past trauma, emotional overload, or coping mechanisms like alcohol or substance use start creeping in to help you survive the day, it’s easy to feel disconnected from yourself. You don’t need generic advice, you need a warm, grounded space and practical tools to calm your nervous system, regain control of your emotions, and finally break free from the patterns holding you back.
I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, complex trauma, PTSD, and substance use. My approach pairs person-centered warmth with high-impact, evidence-based tools: EMDR therapy to reprocess painful past experiences at a root level, and DBT skills to give you tangible strategies for managing intense emotions and stressful moments in real time.
Clients describe my style as warm, direct, and deeply collaborative. Therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen and empowered to grow. If you're ready to quiet the internal noise, heal old wounds, and build a life that feels steady and fulfilling, reach out today. I look forward to walking alongside you.
