About

Many people I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck in anxious thoughts, or weighed down by painful memories they can’t seem to move past. They’re exhausted from trying to “push through” and want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to themselves and others. They’re looking for relief from the constant mental noise, a sense of safety in their body, and the ability to let go of patterns that no longer serve them. Over time, clients often share that they feel more present in relationships, less hijacked by worry, and more confident facing what comes next. I specialize in EMDR therapy—a research-supported approach that helps you process painful experiences at your own pace. My work is informed by years of experience with adults with severe mental illness and youth in shelter and school settings. For the past two years, I’ve supported teens and adults in private practice using trauma-informed, EMDR-based care.
