You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or the impact of past experiences, even while functioning well in your daily life. Many of the clients I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who feel emotionally stuck, on edge, or disconnected and want deeper healing rather than short-term coping strategies.
I am an EMDR Certified Therapist with over nine years of clinical experience. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy for adults and integrate EMDR, Brainspotting, and IFS-informed work to help clients process trauma, regulate their nervous system, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I believe healing happens in safe, compassionate spaces where you don’t have to rush or minimize your experience. Therapy with me is collaborative, grounded, and paced to support your nervous system. If you’re ready for deeper healing and lasting change, I invite you to reach out.

My work is trauma-focused and nervous-system-informed. I primarily use EMDR, Brainspotting, and IFS to help clients process unresolved experiences at both the mind and body level. Sessions are paced intentionally, with an emphasis on safety, regulation, and lasting emotional change.
