High satisfaction rate with clients

Clients report a lasting relationship

Nice to meet you

I find meaning and fulfillment in working with those who have experienced trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, attachment wounds, and relationship issues. I am an Eye Movement Desensitization (EMDR) and Reprocessing trained therapist and I use EMDR to treat trauma. Trauma comes in multiple forms; single episode, multiple, or cumulative relational trauma. I strongly believe that our psyche is wired for healing and growth, and it is an honor to be part of my client’s transformative journey. I will work to support your growth and healing. I will also help you navigate self-compassion, and develop new skills and interaction styles to improve your relationship with yourself and others.
