Are you struggling with the effects of trauma, PTSD, or chronic stress? I help individuals and couples heal from emotional wounds that leave them feeling hopeless, anxious, disconnected, or stuck. As a trauma therapist, I specialize in PTSD treatment, trauma recovery, and supporting clients through anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges rooted in past experiences. Whether you're dealing with childhood trauma, workplace burnout, or the lingering effects of a toxic relationship, we can work together toward lasting healing. I help you build resilience, self-awareness, and lasting change. You don’t have to do this alone.
My approach blends clinical expertise with compassion. I use EMDR, Brainspotting, TIST, Ego State Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Gottman and Relational Life Therapy. This integrative method supports trauma recovery by tailoring care to each client and couple’s unique needs.
Healing from trauma, chronic stress, and PTSD is possible. If you're ready to feel more grounded, connected, and in control, I’m here to help. I offer trauma-focused therapy tailored to your needs. Reach out today to schedule a consult and take the first step toward lasting emotional wellness.
