You may understand why your patterns exist — and still feel unable to change them. Many people I work with have already done therapy and have insight into their history, relationships, and triggers. And yet, the same emotional reactions, anxiety, or relationship dynamics keep resurfacing — often when you least expect them.
That’s not because you’re failing at therapy. It’s because trauma doesn’t live only in the mind.
I help people resolve trauma at its root — not just understand it. When trauma is involved, understanding alone often isn’t enough. Old memories, nervous system responses, and deeply ingrained relational patterns can continue to shape your life even when you “know better.”
My work is grounded in EMDR and Brainspotting trauma-focused, somatic approaches.
I work especially well with people who grew up in emotionally challenging or unpredictable family systems and are ready for change.
My approach is active, attuned, and intentional — designed for people who want meaningful change, not just symptom management.
If you’re ready to move beyond insight and into lasting change, I’d be honored to work with you.
