EMDRIA Certified Therapist™

About Me

I believe every person has the innate wisdom and capacity for change — our trauma buries it, but it doesn't destroy it. My work is precise and research-grounded: calm the nervous system first, then process what's been driving the symptoms, and rewrite the story we tell ourselves. I'm going for a nervous system reset. I specialize in multi-day trauma intensives — concentrated in-person work that produces real movement. Complex trauma, C-PTSD, relational trauma, addiction

Education & Experience

My work focuses on adults navigating complex trauma, PTSD, and relational trauma. My specialty is multi-day trauma intensives — 1 to 3 days of concentrated, in-person EMDR, Flash Therapy, narrative reconstruction, and somatic work. For people who have plateaued in weekly therapy and need movement, not more coping tools.
