If you struggle with how your past continues to impact who you are today, you are ready and willing to take concrete steps to process it; let's talk. Your past wounds do not have to control how you are experiencing your life today. I want to learn what happened to you and go beyond a diagnosis that may have been given to you. I specialize in treating complex trauma/PTSD and dissociation. My ideal clients are motivated and actively engaged in their own healing journey. I truly believe we are the 'placebo factor' in this process, and this is also backed by science, and a therapist is a witness to this process.
I am certified in EMDR and trained in EMDR 2.0. I have 10+ years of experience providing trauma-focused care to people who have undergone multiple overwhelming life experiences, including recent traumatic events, anxiety, depression, losses, and more. I am passionate about using EMDR to decrease suffering and promote personal growth.
This is about you & for you. You will be in the driver's seat when engaging in EMDR. You are the only person powerful enough to make any changes you decide. I am collaborative, will empower you, prefer to cut to the chase & will let you know if you are standing in your way. Trauma processing doesn't have to be scary; my goal is to make it possible for you.

I show ways to regulate your nervous system to prepare you for effective trauma-processing work. We will mutually plan your goals and discuss ways to get there. I am structured & aim to address the heart of the issue. I lean on a brain-body-informed lens, less 'talking about problems' to save you time and money. Visit the EMDRIA website to see if EMDR is a good option for you, and give me a call!

Having trained in IFS with Sheba, I witnessed first-hand how naturally she embodies this work - curious, steady, and deeply attuned. Her ability to meet the most protective parts with compassion is something you can't teach.

I often use EMDR along with IFS and other models to build a sense of 'feeling safe enough,' confidence, and readiness before you face and address what has been holding you back. I also use effective methods, EMDR 2.0 and Predictive Flash (EMDR-based), to process highly charged traumatic memories. I will meet you and your nervous system wherever it is to do the work.
