Helping you heal from old wounds that are keeping you from living your best life.

I am an EMDR Certified Therapist and specialize in trauma-informed therapy. I use an integrated neurobiological approach incorporating evidence-based therapeutic techniques proven effective in healing trauma wounds. This approach helps clients develop deeper understanding and insight into how past experiences have helped form the beliefs we have about ourselves, others and the world around us, while also linking those experiences to autonomic nervous system (ANS) responses and identifying how they continue to affect us in the present.

Once these connections between the past and present have been identified, incorporating EMDR into treatment to reprocess the thoughts, feelings and sensations connected to those past experiences and memories begins the journey to healing. As EMDR progresses a cognitive shift often occurs, which results in the negative thoughts and beliefs we’ve carried around for so long actually changing to more positive adaptive beliefs; helping us heal from the wounds of trauma that have been keeping stuck in the past.

 
 

Working together to meet your goals.

I provide support to adults at any stage of their life's journey, meeting them exactly where they are. Through collaborative efforts, we can close the door on the old wounds from the past, enhance internal strengths, foster resilient relationships, effectively manage life's stressors, and cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life.

My role is to offer guidance and support during challenging times that may feel too overwhelming to face alone. Having someone who is trained and enthusiastic about assisting in the healing process can truly make a significant difference.
