You've spent years managing what happened to you, and you're exhausted from carrying it. Maybe you keep ending up in the same painful relationship patterns and can't figure out why. Maybe there's a void inside you that nothing seems to fill, or you're still living under the weight of expectations from a community that left you hurt and angry. The things you went through when you were young are showing up in your life right now, in your relationships, your body, your sense of who you are. Part of you knows it's time to stop hiding from them. There is a way to actually heal from this, not just manage it.

I use EMDR, expressive therapies like sand tray and art, and inner child work to help you process what words alone can't always reach. Sessions are creative and active, not just talk. I'll gently challenge you to face what you've been avoiding, and we'll work through it together using whatever combination of approaches fits where you are.

Most people reach out when things feel hopeless and all-consuming, not sure whether anything will actually change. I offer a free 15-minute phone call so we can connect and you can get a feel for whether this is the right fit for you. Many people leave that call feeling like they've finally found a safe place to begin healing from their past.

I work with clients struggling with trauma or attachment wounds and the many ways it impacts their lives. Together we explore their story and address the roots of current challenges, not just the symptoms. The goal is to not only see a decrease in symptoms but to also have more tools and regulation skills to handle them when they arise.
