I help clients navigate tough times and identity struggles through trauma-informed therapy, drawing from EMDR, Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, mindfulness, and integrative approaches. Life can be full of joy and meaning, but it can also bring us to our knees, leaving us feeling lost in our emotions or identity. Maybe things seem fine on the surface, but deep down something is off. You’re not alone. Many people struggle to balance inner challenges with the demands of daily life. I work with clients who want to confront difficult emotions, break free from their mental prisons, and move toward a life of authenticity and freedom.
When we encounter difficult or traumatic experiences, the brain may store the event in a raw way, almost like it’s frozen in time. That’s why the past can feel like it’s still happening. In our work, we will process those memories and release their emotional charge. Connect with your inner wisdom and innate healing capacity in a supportive, safe space.
Seeking help takes courage, and you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to set down the weight you’ve been carrying, I invite you to reach out for a free fifteen minute consultation. Together we can explore your needs and see if we may be a good fit.

EMDR was first developed for PTSD, but research shows it helps with many struggles by using bilateral stimulation to recall memories without the overwhelming emotional charge. KAP began as a treatment for resistant depression and also supports the creation of new neuropathways. Dream work connects us with the deepest parts of the psyche. Mindfulness is the practice of living in the present moment.
