As a trauma specialist, I understand how difficult it can be to feel confident or clear about your life when the past still holds power. You may feel stuck, weighed down by self-doubt, or unsure how to move forward even after trying so hard. Healing is not about forgetting what happened. It is about finding peace, strength, and trust in yourself again. My goal is to help you understand your story, release what no longer serves you, and reconnect with the part of you that knows you are capable of living with hope and purpose.
I specialize in trauma, focusing on complex trauma, childhood trauma, sexual abuse, narcissistic abuse, and supporting individuals in addiction recovery. I am a Certified Advanced Trained EMDR Therapist, offering EMDR Intensives (from half-day to multiple-day sessions) as well as weekly sessions to address your unique needs and goals.
I provide a safe and supportive space for everyone, including LGBTQ+ individuals and all marginalized communities. My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and focused on helping you feel grounded and empowered. Follow me at recoverhealbloom on IG and TikTok for Trauma, EMDR, and Healing content. Please book a FREE consultation with me today!

I approach therapy from a Somatic Integration and Processing (SIP) perspective, meaning I look at your symptoms and behaviors through the lens of trauma and how it impacts your nervous system. By combining tools like ego state work, Polyvagal Theory, and attachment-focused strategies with EMDR, I create a personalized and compassionate approach that supports meaningful healing and lasting change.
