About
As a trauma- informed therapist, I work with adults, families and couples. My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy by addressing not only thoughts and emotions, but also how stress and trauma are held in the body and nervous system. While traditional talk therapy can be helpful, trauma-focused approaches allow us to access deeper patterns that may not shift through talking alone. Using Brainspotting and clinical hypnosis, I help clients process experiences at a deeper level, often leading to meaningful change, increased emotional regulation, and a greater sense of relief and clarity. I support adults, couples and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and anger. In my work with couples i focus on improving communication, rebuild trust, and breaking painful patterns.
