About me
Healing from the Past, Reclaiming Your Future.
"Welcome. Finding the right support to heal from trauma is a courageous first step, and I am here to guide you through that journey. I am a trauma-focused psychotherapist with extensive training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that result from disturbing life experiences.
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, weighed down by past events that continue to impact their present. They might experience anxiety, panic, or a deep sense of unease that seems to arise "out of nowhere." Using EMDR, I help clients reprocess these painful memories so they can lose their power and stop triggering you in your daily life. My approach is rooted in compassion, creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and build new pathways to peace and resilience.
Beyond EMDR, my work is informed by other modalities to provide a holistic and personalized experience. I believe in helping you not only find relief from symptoms but also discover your inner strength and live a life unburdened by your past. If you are ready to move forward and regain a sense of control over your life, I invite you to reach out for a consultation."
