About Me
Whether your trauma comes from childhood problems, attachment issues, or it’s comprised of multiple “small t” traumas experienced throughout your life, I will do my best to help you heal. I primarily use EMDR, Ego Parts Work, Somatic Experiencing, and a variety of resourcing techniques to minimize dissociation and/or flooding. I strive to walk you gently through your processing journey at a pace that puts YOU in control. I am non-judgmental and professional, although when appropriate, I've been known to crack a joke because sometimes laughter really is the best medicine.
