Are you feeling overwhelmed by past trauma or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? I know how hard it can be to take the first step toward healing, especially when you’ve been carrying emotional pain for so long. As a therapist with both professional expertise and lived experience, I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can begin to unpack what’s holding you back. My approach to therapy is collaborative and personalized. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking with you on your journey.
EMDR therapy has been transformative for many of my clients, helping them reprocess traumatic memories in a way that feels safe and empowering. This technique, combined with mindfulness, self-compassion, and tailored therapeutic practices, can help you move forward with clarity and resilience.
Together, we’ll take the time to be present with one another to make sense of your past, so you can then feel more at peace and in control of your future. If you've been waiting for a sign to "do the work" - this is it.
