About Me
I use EMDR and talk therapy to help you process what's been unresolved, so you can feel more grounded, connected and present in your life and relationships. I work with individuals and couples and I specialize in relational trauma, childhood emotional neglect, religious trauma/adverse religious experiences, betrayal, people-pleasing and emotional disconnection.
