Maybe you've been carrying something heavy for a long time, a memory that won't stay buried, a pattern you can't explain, a feeling in your chest that shows up uninvited. You don't need someone to tell you what's wrong. You need someone to help you listen to what your body and your deeper self have been trying to say.
That's the work I do.
I specialize in working with women, men and teen girls navigating trauma and the pain that lives not just in the mind, but in the body, in patterns, in the way you freeze in certain rooms. I bring a psychodynamic lens: we follow the symbols, the sensations. Your inner world is meaningful, not noise.
EMDR helps traumatic memories lose their grip on your nervous system not re-living the past, but finally setting it down. IFS honors that you contain multitudes: parts that protected you, parts ready to rest.
Reach out for a call to discover the messages your body wants you to hear.
