About Me

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR-trained trauma therapist who helps adults, adolescents, couples, and families move from surviving their experiences toward feeling safer, more connected, and more fully present in their lives.
My approach is grounded in curiosity, compassion, and the belief that many symptoms began as protective responses. Rather than asking, “What is wrong with you?” I help clients explore, “What happened, what did your nervous system learn, and what might it need now?” I work with individuals experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, panic, attachment wounds, betrayal trauma, grief, caregiver burnout, and relationship distress. I also support veterans, first responders, medical professionals, high-stress professionals, and clients who are accustomed to caring for everyone else while quietly carrying their own pain. In EMDR therapy, I emphasize safety, preparation, regulation, and choice. Trauma processing is not something clients must rush into or perform correctly. Together, we build the internal and external resources needed to approach difficult memories at a pace that feels safe enough and manageable. My work is attachment-informed and nervous-system focused, integrating EMDR with somatic strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and parts-informed care. My goal is to help clients face what happened, feel what is ready to be felt, and heal without abandoning themselves in the process.
