About Me

You spend your days holding space for other people's hardest moments. You know the language of trauma, the frameworks, the tools. And you're still carrying something that hasn't moved — something that surfaces when you least expect it, in the moments that catch you off guard.
I work exclusively with helping professionals: therapists, nurses, physicians, teachers, social workers, and first responders. People like you — people who are extraordinarily good at taking care of others, and who have quietly put their own healing on the back shelf for a long time.
Here's what I know about you: you've probably understood your patterns for years. Understanding hasn't been enough to shift them. That's not a personal failing. That's the nature of trauma. It lives in the body, not the intellect — and it requires a different kind of work to change.
That's what we do together.
Using EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help you get underneath the patterns that keep showing up — not to analyze them, but to actually move them. The result isn't just symptom relief. It's a different experience of your own life. Triggers that used to grip you, lose their hold. Old beliefs that framed everything begin to shift. The past still happened — but it starts to feel faded. Distant. No longer running the show.
What does that look like, practically? More presence. Less reactivity. More capacity for joy and connection. A life lived from curiosity and steadiness, rather than bracing and protection.
You've helped so many people find their way through. You're allowed to do the same.
A note on what it's like to work with me: people are sometimes surprised that there's laughter in my office. I take this work seriously — and I've learned that warmth and humor don't undermine the depth of the work. They make it more sustainable. You don't have to be grim to heal. I'll ask the questions that open something. I'll remember the details — the ones you mentioned months ago that still matter. And I will be genuinely, fully present with you in a way that most of us rarely get to receive.
This is deep work. And it works.
