Trauma isn't just a memory; it's an experience that echoes through your entire being, disconnecting you from your power within. For many women, it makes you feel like a stranger in your own skin, no matter how much time has passed. Trauma isn't always about the events that occurred. Sometimes, it's about what DIDN'T happen- the needs that went unmet in your life, the yearning for love, safety, and security. You may find yourself feeling fragmented, presenting one face to the world- strong and confident- while another part of you is weighed down by deep hurt, pain, depression, and anxiety.
After helping hundreds of women, I've learned that trauma healing goes beyond traditional talk therapy. That's why I use a phased approach integrating somatic practices and EMDR, empowering you to regulate your nervous system and release the stored trauma held within your body.
I understand the weight you're carrying & the courage it takes to seek help. You're not alone in this journey. I'm here to support you every step of the way, providing a safe and compassionate space for your healing. To begin, visit our website linked above.

It's helpful to go beyond traditional talk therapy when healing trauma. In my practice, I often support clients in nervous system regulation and somatic work to support lasting change.
