About Me
~ Offering EMDR 2.0 with AI Technology ~ Trauma Treatment as Efficiently & Gently as Possible (No Longer Waiting Months for Symptom Relief) Throughout my life, I have experienced much pain and loss, all of which have fostered resiliency, compassion, and a deep desire to partner with others in cultivating the meaningful and peaceful life they want to live. It is through EMDR, both as a clinician and a client, that I found the answers I was looking for—to not only achieve healing for myself but to be able to offer it to others as well. As a trauma therapist, my passion and mission is to serve others by finding root causes of life issues and healing and restoring the whole person as efficiently and gently as possible! I am so very excited to become your partner in therapy in order for you to live life to its fullest and regain a sense of safety and control along with a peace of mind and a full heart!
