Welcome Message

Sometimes things happen in our lives that change who we are and what we believe about ourselves or the world. If you have experienced abuse, divorce, job loss, health struggles, or other traumatic events, you might struggle to feel safe, lovable, in control, or connected with others. You might feel depressed or anxious, and daily life might feel dull or difficult. You may have tried traditional talk therapy to no avail.

Life doesn’t need to be this hard. You can find joy and meaning and rediscover yourself. In my practice, I use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) to help you to process your traumas and grow from them, rather than feel burdened by them. EMDR is widely recognized as one of the most effective, efficient trauma therapies available.

Please reach out. I know the first step is scary, but I will be here to support you every step of the way.

About Me

As a therapist, I bring a deeply personal understanding of the impact of stress, trauma, and the mind-body connection to my practice. At the age of 23, I confronted panic attacks, depression, and alopecia; experiences that left me feeling helpless, hopeless, and very alone.

Through my own path of self-discovery and resilience, I've come to value the profound potential for growth that accompanies moments of trauma. I've learned firsthand the importance of embracing one's inner worth beyond external appearances, cultivating a sense of self-acceptance that transcends societal expectations.

Drawing upon my personal experiences, I offer a distinctive perspective on the intricate relationship between mind and body, and the transformative power of resilience in the face of adversity.
