Have you experienced a traumatic event that has left you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to move forward? Or maybe grew up in a home that left you struggling to feel safe or worthy of love? If so, I want you to know that you are not alone. Trauma can really shake up our lives, affecting our identity, relationships, work-life balance, and the ability to just feel comfortable in our own skin. Whether you have experienced a one-time traumatic event or a pattern of ongoing trauma, I am here to help. Together, we will explore your experiences and develop practical tools to help you overcome trauma and reclaim your life.
Through evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and mindfulness, I have helped numerous clients manage symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and trauma-related issues. I also have a long history working with Veterans, women, male sexual trauma survivors, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC people.
I've experienced trauma firsthand and, through therapy, overcame my fears and found healing. This led me to become a psychologist and offer others emotional freedom. Authenticity builds trust and connection, and I take pride in providing a supportive environment for my clients. If you are ready to begin your journey to healing, I invite you to reach out.
