About

Welcome! I provide counseling for teens (15+) and adults. I specialize in trauma and PTSD and am trained in EMDR. I believe that many of our behaviors, especially in times of stress or difficulty, often serves as ways to help us feel safe, make sense of our environment, and protect ourselves from perceived threats. With that understanding, my goal is to help clients explore and understand the root causes of their behaviors, creating space for healing and self-compassion. In addition to EMDR, I use polyvagal theory and mindfulness techniques such as meditation, grounding exercises, and deep breathing. I aim to help clients become more present in their lives, so they are able to respond more thoughtfully to stressors, and begin to replace old patterns with healthier, more empowering responses. Vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness. It takes great courage to open up, share your struggles, and allow yourself to be seen. This is where healing begins.
