Living with anxiety, trauma, or chronic overwhelm can feel exhausting and confusing. You might notice yourself overthinking, shutting down, or feeling emotionally stuck even when you understand what’s happening logically. At times, it can feel like your mind wants one thing while your body reacts another way, leaving you disconnected from yourself or unsure how to move forward.
My work is trauma-informed and integrates several approaches, including parts-oriented therapy, EMDR, and Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), a gentle method that supports the release of shock and threat held beneath awareness. I am also certified in Perinatal Mental Health, supporting pregnancy, postpartum, fertility challenges, and reproductive trauma.
Therapy is offered in a calm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where all parts of your experience are welcome. Together, we focus on building steadiness, flexibility, and support as you navigate stress, emotions, and life transitions.

One of the techniques I incorporate into my practice is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy, which has proven to be effective in helping individuals reprocess traumatic memories, reduce their emotional intensity, and alleviate associated symptoms.

I use an integrative, trauma-informed approach in my work. In early sessions, we'll explore what brings you to therapy and move at a pace that feels manageable. Treatment may include parts-oriented work, EMDR, or DBR, with a focus on helping you better understand your responses and feel more steady over time.
