Are you struggling with the wounds of your past, feeling unseen, unheard, or unworthy in your relationships? Perhaps you have experienced deep emotional pain that has been passed down through generations, childhood attachment wounds, or patterns of unhealthy relationships. These experiences may be repeating themselves in real time and shows up as the perfectionist, the problem solver, the peace maker, or the caretaker. If this is you, I can help.
If you've talked about this issue until you're exhausted, it probably hasn't worked because it's a pattern that is deeply embedded in your body and nervous system. I use brain-body modalities like Brainspotting and EMDR to help you process deeply to experience resolution. Post-healing, you build self-trust, self-love to reclaim your voice and life.
As an LPC Supervisor, I also supervise LPC Associates. It's an honor to pour into and support those who are on their journey to becoming fully licensed. If you're looking for a trauma-trained, intuitive, culturally aware clinician, let's connect to see if we're a good fit.

I use brain-body-based modalities like Brainspotting, EMDR, EFT tapping, and creativity to support adults with unresolved childhood trauma from emotionally absent caregivers. I also collaborate with CBT therapists to provide targeted intensives for those clients who are stuck in trauma because talk therapy isn't enough. We work together to create the resolution you deserve.
