What we call a beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. -T.S. Eliot. I believe change is hard and peace of mind sometimes requires the support of a caring professional. I want to be your advocate, a cheerleader on your sideline, and a partner empowering you on your journey towards healing. I passionately believe in the power of growth and resilience and work those values into my therapy.
I have specialized in working with trauma survivors for over a decade with specialized training in trauma informed care, Trauma Recovery and Empowerment Model (TREM), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), and Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP).
You are not broken and everything you need is inside of you. I want to help you live unblocked and unburdened as your truest self. I honor every client’s journey with safety and empathy; with 19 years of clinical experience making me well equipped to support your path forward. If you are ready for the journey of healing to begin, reach out today
