How I Help

I specialize in EMDR therapy, which is a way of helping your brain process experiences that feel stuck.

We’re not just talking about what happened. We’re helping your brain and body shift how those memories are held, so they don’t keep showing up with the same intensity.

Over time, people often notice they feel calmer. Less reactive. They can think about what happened without getting pulled back into it. Things start to feel more like the past instead of something that’s still happening.

EMDR Therapy & Adjunct Support

I also work with people who already have a therapist and want to focus specifically on trauma using EMDR.

That way you can keep your ongoing therapy relationship, while we do more focused work around the experiences that feel stuck.

You’re in Control of the Process

We go at your pace.

You won’t be pushed to go into anything before you’re ready. My job is to help you stay grounded and supported while we do the work.

Start Here

If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, you’re welcome to reach out.

Schedule a free 15-minute consultation, ask any questions you have, and see if it feels like a fit.

You don’t have to keep carrying this by yourself.

Sometimes it’s not about understanding what happened. It’s about your body still reacting like it’s happening now.
