With over 25 years of experience, I help individuals and couples heal from betrayal, gambling addiction, a loved one’s addiction, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I help interrupt destructive patterns, stabilize behaviors, and address the underlying drivers, including emotional, relational, and belief-based patterns. Using attachment-focused EMDR, we process past and recent experiences and support you in rebuilding your life with greater stability, connection, and meaning. I also provide consultation, supervision, and training in gambling and trauma-related care.
I use attachment focused EMDR, a highly effective therapy, to help resolve your issues quicker and deeper than traditional talk-therapy to have more lasting impact. As an expert & BACC I offer Supervision, Consultation and Training gambling and trauma-related issues.
My approach blends expertise with compassion, intuition, and the lived understanding of someone who knows how painful these experiences can be. This is a space where you can feel understood, supported, and guided toward real healing.

I use Attachment Focused EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) Therapy, a highly researched and amazingly effective approach to healing trauma and negative beliefs, which are at the root of many mental health and addiction issues. It can greatly reduce the time of typical talk therapy, make a remarkable difference in your life, and have a lasting impact.
