If you’re navigating PTSD/complex trauma, anxiety, or big emotions, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to do it by yourself. My clients want practical tools now and deeper healing at a pace that feels safe. You might want steadier days, better sleep, fewer triggers, and to feel more like yourself again. I find real joy in walking with you through hard moments and the self-discovery that follows, offering a space that supports, accepts, and empowers you. As I often remind clients: “You can’t pour from an empty cup".
I specialize in trauma recovery. I’m trained in EMDR, somatic and sensorimotor therapies, mindfulness, and trauma-informed CBT. Because trauma is personal, I tailor a plan focused on safety, body regulation, and skills you can use between sessions.
I’m strengths-based and trauma-informed. I’ll listen without judgment, hear your story, and build on your resilience. One core belief guides my work: “It’s not what’s wrong with you; it’s what happened to you.” If this resonates, I’d be honored to connect and explore whether we’re a good fit.
