My website
You are more than just a diagnosis, you're a human being who deserves to feel confident and actualized. I want my clients to look forward to coming into therapy, and enjoy our time together with a mix humor and healing. You may feel like the past is always just under the surface—anxious, on guard, or disconnected even when life seems fine on the outside. My clients often carry trauma they’ve never been able to fully talk about or move past. They want relief from the tension in their minds and bodies, to understand why they feel this way, and to feel whole again—calm, confident, and safe in their own skin.
I specialize in trauma therapy using EMDR, a powerful evidence-based approach that helps the nervous system process and release trauma. I create a safe, supportive space where we move at your pace, helping you break free from old patterns and build a life that feels grounded, balanced, and your own.
Healing from trauma takes courage—and you don’t have to do it alone. Together we can gently untangle the pain of the past and help you reconnect with your strength, safety, and sense of self. You deserve to feel whole, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you take this step toward healing.

As an EMDR Therapist, I have my patients create a list of traumatic events that have happened over the course of your life. From there, we work together to desensitize the disturbing memories while combatting the negative thoughts that have been following these events. We then install the more accurate positive cognition into the individuals consciousness.
