With over a decade of experience, I provide compassionate support to individuals facing challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, and neurodiversity. Licensed since 2010 and in private practice since 2020, I specialize in trauma recovery using EMDR;. I also integrate CBT, mindfulness, self-compassion, and ACT to help you build resilience and move toward healing in a safe and supportive space.
Primarily I specialize in multi-modal trauma recovery. My goal is to create a safe space where you can explore your negative cognitions related to your trauma and reconnect to your body/mind and others. In working together, we can focus on helping you cultivate deeper connections with others and learn how to have more fulfilling experiences with others.
This is vulnerable work and the first place to start is with learning to trust me in your process. Through working with me, I will help desensitize your trauma reactions and install more positive or adaptive beliefs about yourself or the world. I will then teach you skills to help you connect more fully with yourself and others.
