My ideal clients are children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relational stress, or major life transitions. Many feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected and are seeking support to better understand themselves and improve their relationships. I help clients move forward by providing a warm, grounded, and collaborative space tailored to their needs. I integrate EMDR and Brainspotting to address trauma at the brain-body level, along with practical coping tools to support emotional regulation, insight, and lasting change.
I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, helping clients heal from anxiety, depression, and relational challenges. I use EMDR and Brainspotting to process trauma at the brain-body level. I also support emotional regulation, relationships, and life transitions, while providing practical coping tools and insight to create lasting, meaningful change.
I understand that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and reaching out for support is a brave first step toward healing. Whether you’re struggling with the weight of past trauma, navigating the challenges of parenting or relationships, or simply looking for guidance during a difficult transition, I’m here to help.
