I specialize in providing integrated EMDR and IFS to LGBTQ+ youth and adults who are impacted by complex trauma and painful past experiences. Many come into therapy feeling like a burden, doubting their own competence, or feeling trapped in cycles of worst-case-scenario thinking. Therapy is often initiated during a moment of clarity, when continuing to spiral no longer feels acceptable and there is a longing for grounding and connection. Over time, it becomes clearer that staying stuck is not inevitable. The desire to feel confident, secure, and live authentically begins to outweigh the fear of working through painful experiences.
Once a secure and trusting therapeutic relationship is established, I help clients understand the neurobiological impact of trauma, often relieving deeply ingrained self-blame. This work supports insight into how the brain and nervous system respond to stress and trauma, reframing these reactions as natural physiological responses rather than personal flaws.
If I could say one thing to you, it would be this: You deserve to live authentically, to experience meaningful relationships without fear, and to feel safe. You deserve steadiness, connection, and self-trust. You are enough, just as you are, each and every day. If this resonates, you’re welcome to explore my site and see if working together feels like a fit.
