Using therapy and EMDR, we’ll process your experiences, build coping tools, and help you regain clarity, emotional balance, and a renewed sense of self.
Does your past still haunt you, affecting your relationships, work, or even your sense of self?

You might feel trapped in cycles of anxiety, guilt, or self-doubt, unsure how to move forward. The weight of it all can be exhausting, making it hard to see a way out. I help adults and teens gently unpack their trauma, process its impact, and rebuild their sense of safety, confidence, and inner peace. Healing is possible, and you deserve to feel whole again.

I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy ( EMDR Therapy).
I believe in the importance of a person’s story and meeting each person where they are in the present moment, while honoring experiences from the past. There are often events or themes within a person’s childhood that can lead them to experience difficulties later in their lives if left unresolved. These difficulties often appear in the form of unhealthy traits or toxic cycles within romantic relationships or friendships. Other times, there are negative thoughts such as “I should have known better” or “I always do something wrong” that constantly circle in a person’s mind.

I use an integrative approach combining CBT to help you understand how thoughts influence emotions, DBT-informed techniques to develop coping skills, and EMDR to heal trauma.
You’re doing all you can, but it feels like you're unraveling. Maybe you’re stuck in anxious thoughts that won’t quiet down, haunted by past experiences, navigating a life stressor, or parenting a child whose struggles leave you feeling helpless. It’s exhausting holding it all together when your mind and body are asking for relief. It can also be painful to watch your child overwhelmed by big emotions they don’t understand -resulting in meltdowns or clinginess. Therapy can be a place to breathe again, understand the weight you're carrying, and begin to feel like yourself, stronger and more in control.

I specialize in trauma therapy using EMDR — a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps your mind move through what it has struggled to hold.
You've carried something heavy for a long time. Maybe it has a name — trauma, PTSD, loss — or maybe it's just a weight you've never been able to set down. You've kept going, kept showing up, kept surviving. But somewhere along the way, surviving started to feel like the ceiling instead of the floor.
You don't have to stay there. And you don't have to walk through it alone. With 30 years of military service and a decade of clinical experience, I understand what it means to carry what others can't see — and I know the courage it takes to finally put it down.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
