EMDRIA Certified Therapist™

Online Therapy

About Me

I offer a holistic approach to therapy that goes beyond traditional talk therapy to support deeper, lasting healing. While insight is important, many of the challenges we face—like anxiety, trauma, and feeling stuck—are rooted in the nervous system and subconscious patterns.

In our work together, I integrate EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mind-body/energy-based approaches to help you process experiences, understand your internal world, and create meaningful change. This allows us to access and heal the deeper layers that talk therapy alone may not fully reach.



I work with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges—especially those who feel they’ve done therapy before but are still feeling stuck.



My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and gently guided toward real, lasting transformation.
