About
Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or like you're carrying emotional weight you can't quite name? Maybe you're stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, and they won’t go away. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I help adults work through the things that keep them stuck such as old wounds, stress, anxiety, or just the sense that something isn’t quite right. I use a therapy approach called EMDR therapy blended with parts work, which helps people heal from past experiences that are still affecting how they think, feel, or relate to others today. You don’t need to know anything about EMDR to get started. It’s a gentle, structured approach that helps your brain and body process what’s been stuck—whether it’s a specific event or years of built-up stress. People often tell me it helps them feel lighter, calmer, and more like themselves again—even if they weren’t sure what to expect at first.
