Insight isn’t the problem. Your nervous system is still responding like the past is happening now. Many clients come to therapy feeling frustrated because they understand their patterns — yet still feel stuck repeating them. That’s because healing doesn’t happen through insight alone. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy and EMDR, helping clients move beyond analyzing their past and begin changing how their nervous system responds in the present. Together, we focus less on why you feel the way you do and more on how you’re trying to meet your needs — and whether those strategies are truly working for you.
With 20 years of experience, I specialize in overcoming trauma and stress. I hold a master’s degree from the University of Michigan and utilize EMDR & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tailor my approach to your unique needs. My goal is to guide you toward clarity and calm, providing effective tools for lasting change and growth.
Through EMDR, we gently reprocess experiences that impact emotional regulation, relationships, and self-beliefs. My approach is collaborative and grounded, honoring how your system learned to survive while helping you build new patterns that support the life you want now.

Patterns of stress, anxiety and hopelessness can feel overwhelming to all of us. It is important to look at these patterns of thought, emotions, and behaviors with a lens of acceptance and understanding. It is my goal to help fully accept and move through these patterns to new healthy ways of coping.

The goal isn't to "fix" you. It's to help you develop new ways of meeting your needs — with more clarity, regulation, and choice.
