English
| Deutsch Are you feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Perhaps you understand what you want to change, yet something inside keeps pulling you back. Choosing to begin psychotherapy—especially trauma-informed therapy—takes courage, trust, and patience. My role is to offer a non-judgmental, supportive, and steady space where meaningful change can unfold, at a pace that feels right for you. This same perspective informs my work as the author of Heal the Body, Heal the Mind, my current writing on a second book, and my contributions to Psychology Today.
I specialize in trauma therapy, including EMDR, hypnotherapy, and somatic, body-based approaches that support nervous system regulation and gently address the effects of overwhelming or early life experiences. Many of my clients seek support for PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and stress related to relationships, parenting, or cross-cultural transitions.
My approach is shaped by both clinical training and lived experience. Having navigated PTSD earlier in my life, I understand how deeply trauma can affect the nervous system and sense of self. This informs my work with compassion, steadiness, and respect for each person’s pace. If you’re curious whether we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out.
