About Me
I am passionate about helping people heal from trauma or past adverse life experiences. I use different modalities, including EMDR, to help people reach their goals, which can involve wanting to understand themselves more, reduce anxiety/depression or other hard experiences and a goal of generally wanting to feel better overall. I strive to provide a safe, affirming space for people to be able to connect with themselves.
