About Me
As a licensed psychologist specializing in grief, trauma, and EMDR therapy, I provide compassionate, evidence-based support to individuals navigating the complexities of loss. Grief can often feel overwhelming, and for many, it is compounded by unresolved trauma, sudden losses, or past experiences that intensify the pain. Through EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), I help clients process the emotional weight of their grief and trauma in a way that feels manageable, meaningful, and empowering. EMDR can be especially effective for: ✨ Complicated grief, such as loss tied to unexpected or traumatic circumstances. ✨ Grief that feels "stuck" or unresolved, interfering with your ability to function. ✨ Addressing early attachment wounds or past traumas that influence current grief experiences. ✨ Releasing distressing memories and feelings that keep you from moving forward. I integrate EMDR with a grief-informed approach, honoring the uniqueness of each person’s loss while providing the tools to process painful memories, find emotional relief, and reengage with life in a way that feels authentic to you. Whether you are grieving a loved one, experiencing anticipatory grief, or navigating non-death losses like identity or relationship changes, EMDR can help you reconnect with hope and healing. If you're ready to explore how EMDR and grief work can support your healing journey, I’d be honored to walk with you through this process.
