You have survived things no one should have. Maybe it was sexual trauma, childhood abuse, or repeated betrayal that left you questioning your worth. You're tired of pretending everything is okay, or being the strong one while carrying the weight of pain, shame and silence. I see you and I'm here to walk with you. I integrate EMDR and parts work with traditional talk therapy. Therapy with me is about restoring voice, power and choice in your healing. I specialize in working with high functioning individuals navigating the lasting impact of complex trauma and chronic stress.
My approach is compassionate and grounded in cultural humility. As a trauma therapist, I understand how deeply trauma lives in the body and mind. Together we'll work gently and intentionally to untangle your story, helping you find relief, safety, and wholeness, on your terms.
You don't have to carry this alone. Healing is possible and you're worthy of it. My practice is a space for rest, truth telling and transformation. When you're ready, I'm here. I am an EMDR certified therapist and a Consultant-in-Training and offer consultation for therapists that will count towards EMDR certification. Email me to discuss next steps.

I often use EMDR in my practice. EMDR is a highly effective psychotherapy used to treat trauma and other distressing life experiences. In your first session, we explore what brought you to therapy. During treatment we will go at your pace to process traumatic experiences to facilitate healing.
