Life experiences - especially painful or traumatic ones - can leave lasting emotional impacts. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or disconnected, you're not alone. I specialize in working with adults who have a history of trauma, helping them understand and manage the effects of what they've been through.
I am deeply passionate about this work because I've witnessed the meaningful, lasting changes that happen when people feel empowered in their healing. You deserve support, and you deserve to feel better.
Using evidenced-based approaches such as EMDR and CBT, I help clients develop emotional regulation tools so they can feel more grounded, confident and in control of their lives. My experiences across diverse settings and with individuals from many different walks of life allows me to meet you where you are, without judgment.
I provide a safe, supportive space where you can move at your own pace. In our first few sessions, we'll focus on getting to know each other and building trust. Healing doesn't happen by rushing - it happens when you feel secure and empowered.
