About Me
I work with adults who grew up in environments where love, stability, or safety were inconsistent. Who are ready to look at the old wounds that continue to create present day pain. My approach integrates trauma therapies like EMDR, Ego State, Somatic and Narrative Therapies, allowing us to work with both the mind and body as we address the impact of the past. My style is warm, relational, and evidence-based. I truly believe there is nothing you can experience that is beyond the reach of grace, healing, and hope. It is my privilege and joy to walk alongside my clients as they heal and reclaim their story. If any of this resonates with you please reach out and we can see if I am the right fit for you!
