Welcome, Salaam and Namaste! It is my honor to walk alongside you on your healing journey . I specialize in trauma care as I have several years of experience working with veterans, children and adults experiencing trauma related to sexual, emotional, physical and combat trauma. Many clients come to therapy looking for relief from long-held pain, anxiety, and unresolved experiences. Therapy can feel vulnerable and challenging, but with the right fit, it can become a deeply transformative space for both the client and the therapist.
I use evidence-based interventions to create a structured and goal-oriented approach, giving each client clear direction and measurable outcomes. My trauma work is grounded in extensive EMDR training, along with clinical foundations in CBT and DBT.
In our work together, I invite curiosity, compassion, and openness. Healing is not linear and often comes with both high and lows. I believe true healing begins when we recognize our pain and allow space for gratitude, joy, and renewal.

I often use EMDR in my practice with clients who have experience severe anxiety and symptoms of PTSD. In your first session we'll address certain memories or triggers that impact your quality of life then decide a treatment plan approach that fits your needs best. With EMDR we will reprocess specific core memories that cause distress in your life and learn to revisit a memory without reliving it.
