You've tried therapy before. Maybe it helped for a while — but something still feels stuck, heavy, or just out of reach. You carry wounds that go back further than you can name: moments of feeling unsafe, unseen, or disconnected from yourself. You may be living with complex PTSD, anxiety, depression, or a quiet sense that you're surviving rather than truly living. You're ready to go deeper. I work with teens and adults who are done with surface-level relief and ready to heal at the root. Using depth psychotherapy, EMDR, and energy healing, we move through what words alone can't reach — and begin returning you to yourself.
I'm a licensed therapist and Registered Nurse, trained in depth psychotherapy, EMDR, energy medicine, and psychedelic preparation and integration. I work at the intersection of science and soul — because real healing doesn't happen in just one of them. Sessions are intuitive, embodied, and built entirely around you.
You have always been the one you are looking for. The anxiety, the depression, the trauma — they drown out that truth. But they don't erase it. I've sat with people in their darkest places and watched them grow into a version of themselves they never dreamed possible. I'm here to help you hear your own unique voice again. I'd be honored to begin.

I specialize in complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and psychedelic preparation and integration. We begin by understanding your full story — body, history, and soul. Using EMDR, depth work, and somatic approaches, most clients experience a real shift in symptoms within the first few sessions and a profound sense of self returning over time.

We begin beneath the surface — using depth psychotherapy to follow what lives under your story. EMDR dissolves the charge of traumatic memory. Somatic work returns you to your body as a place of safety. Together, these aren't just techniques. They're a path back to yourself.
