About Me
Trauma Therapy & EMDR Specialization If you’re feeling stuck in the impact of trauma—whether recent, childhood, or complex—I help clients find relief and healing through EMDR and somatic therapy. Many of the people I work with are professionals in tech and finance, expats adjusting to new cultures, first-generation individuals, and people of color seeking culturally attuned support. Services Offered: EMDR Therapy – Weekly sessions that help reprocess painful memories and foster lasting healing. EMDR Intensives – Extended sessions over consecutive days for deeper breakthroughs, quicker progress, and an accelerated path to recovery.
