Specializing in trauma, I understand that it is not always a singular incident. For many, trauma is a series of life experiences, big or small, that leave a lasting impact. I will support you in navigating these layers with care and intention. Therapy with me is a collaborative process where we honor your unique story and create space for growth. My approach is grounded in evidence-based tools tailored to meet your needs. Let’s face it—life can be complicated, but you don’t have to figure it all out alone.
I offer modalities such as EMDR to help process difficult experiences and ease emotional distress, and IFS/parts work to explore inner conflicts and nurture self-acceptance. These approaches, along with somatic techniques and more, support healing and growth while honoring the depth of your personal journey.
In our sessions, I bring steady support, practical tools, and a down-to-earth approach that lets you show up just as you are—no pretense, no pressure. Therapy with me is about having honest, real conversations in a space that feels safe and adaptable. Together, we will create a process that works for you, where growth unfolds naturally and authentically.
