I use evidence-based treatments such as EMDR to help process and reduce the impact of trauma, while also weaving in inner child work to build self-compassion related to early emotional experiences.
We all long to feel a sense of belonging and connection, and positive relationships are essential in helping us live fulfilling lives. However, old wounds and different communication styles can sometimes prevent us from finding satisfaction in our current connections, leaving us feeling stuck and disillusioned. Life also has a way of pulling the rug from under our feet leaving us feeling lost, broken, and unsure of how we got to this point in our story.

I help helpers understand what secondary trauma, complex trauma, and CPTSD actually do to a person, process it at the root level using EMDR and trauma-focused approaches, and rebuild a sustainable relationship with their calling.
I see you — maybe for the first time. I teach, I explain, I challenge — but always in a way that meets you where you are. I work with clients whose nervous systems didn’t respond to traditional talk therapy, and those who suspect they may be neurodivergent. Many say nobody has ever explained their experience the way I do.

I am a Trauma Specialist trained in EMDR, Hypnotherapy, QHHT, IFS, and Trauma Therapy and specialize in PTSD, ADHD, anxiety and depression with over 15 years of experience assisting clients to a state of well-being, growth, and wholeness.
Latest research has shown that we "stuck" in our core beliefs that have been ingrained in us since childhood. We've all tried to "think" our way out of anxiety or depression and have failed. EMDR bypasses the "thinking" part of the brain and works directly on the "feeling" part to integrate healthy beliefs about one's self and bring about peace.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.

Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.

What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.

What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
