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.
