Take the First Step Toward Healing

Trauma can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. I provide compassionate and evidence-based trauma therapy and care tailored to your unique needs.

Trauma is anything that changes how you see the world or yourself. Whether you’re coping with recent events or processing past experiences, I'm here to help you heal and thrive.

​How Trauma Therapy Can Transform Your Life

Trauma therapy offers a pathway to reclaiming your life and rebuilding your emotional well-being. Whether you’re dealing with the effects of childhood trauma, navigating recovery from a difficult experience, or coping with ongoing stress, the benefits of trauma therapy are life-changing.

Key Benefits of Trauma Therapy:
​
  • Tailored to Your Unique Story:
    No two individuals experience trauma the same way. That’s why our trauma therapists design personalized care plans that honor your journey and meet your specific needs.
  • Safe and Confidential Space:
    You deserve a space where you feel heard, validated, and free to express your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Trauma therapy provides that haven for healing.
  • Scientifically Proven Techniques:
    I use evidence-based approaches like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Somatic Experiencing to help you process and release the effects of trauma.
  • Relief from Overwhelming Symptoms:
    Trauma can manifest as anxiety, flashbacks, avoidance, or even physical symptoms. Therapy helps you manage these challenges and regain control over your mind and body.
  • Rebuild Relationships and Trust:
    Trauma often affects how we connect with others. Therapy helps you establish healthier boundaries, rebuild trust, and cultivate fulfilling relationships.
  • Develop Inner Strength and Resilience:
    Through therapy, you’ll learn coping strategies that empower you to face life’s challenges with confidence and self-compassion.
  • Rediscover Joy and Fulfillment:
    Trauma therapy isn’t just about managing pain—it’s about rediscovering the joy, passion, and purpose in your life that trauma may have taken away.

About Me

I'd like to share a bit about myself and my approach to therapy to help you decide if we might be a good fit to work together.

I am a lifelong student of the human experience, fascinated by the intricacies of what makes us who we are. Psychology, with its centuries of analyzing human behavior and brain activity, offers valuable insights into the patterns that shape our lives. Yet, the human experience goes beyond behavior—it encompasses heartbreak, loss, change, love, resilience, and everything in between.

While psychology provides a map, true healing and growth require integrating your own inner wisdom. Together, we’ll explore what’s causing you pain or holding you back. Life is full of ups and downs—sometimes it feels effortless, while other times it can be deeply challenging. Each of us navigates these moments through a unique lens shaped by our inner voice.

That inner voice, the essence of who we are, can sometimes feel lost amidst trauma, doubt, anxiety, or anger—and even during moments of triumph, transitions, and dreams realized. My approach to therapy is about rediscovering that inner voice, the one that knows what you want, what feels right, and how to heal. For couples and families, the process involves uncovering the collective voice of the group, helping everyone realign and restore balance.
I specialize in working with adults, couples, and families seeking to reconnect with themselves and each other, and to find a sense of harmony in their lives.

My Approach
​
I bring a trauma-informed perspective to therapy, combining my academic and professional background with modalities like:
  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): For addressing the impact of past trauma and creating space for healing.
  • Somatic Awareness: To help you reconnect with your body and the wisdom it holds.
  • Domestic Violence Advocacy: Supporting those navigating challenging and complex situations.
  • Holistic Integration: Drawing from various therapeutic frameworks to create a personalized experience that resonates with your unique needs.
Whether you’re seeking individual growth, strengthening your relationship, or fostering harmony within your family, my goal is to create a compassionate, supportive space where we can work together to uncover the balance and healing you’re looking for.
