Do you feel like you have tried other methods of healing or therapy to no avail? Are you a young adult, mom, or a woman dealing with trauma, pregnancy, infertility, or difficult life transitions? Do you feel like your past has shaped certain aspects of you that you don’t want to continue to carry forward anymore? I encourage you to reach out, and explore through a free consultation how EMDR, and a holistic approach to healing may help to release you from old patterns no longer serving your mind and body. EMDR can help desensitize emotional reactions and we can then work together to create new healthier patterns.

You have often felt like dumbo was sitting on your chest, deep breaths were nearly impossible to take, and tension you barely realized you were holding in your body made you sore the next morning?

Some days even feel like an imposter in your own skin…wishing things were different but feeling helpless? You are never helpless. You can confront these narratives and begin healing. You can finally release your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and find support. When you’re ready email me.
