About

Most of my clients experience feeling of anxiety, panic, anger, rage, depression, helplessness, hopelessness, shame, and a disconnection from themselves and the people who are closest to them. Many of these symptoms stem from PTSD and complex PTSD. They want to know what happened and why they feel the way they do. They want to regain a sense of control, intention, and purpose. They want to feel better and experience more love, joy, and connection in relationships with family and friends. I work collaboratively with each client to make sense of what happened and navigate a unique & lasting healing journey from the inside out. I utilize trauma informed evidence based treatments to facilitate effective and lasting change. These include, but are not limited to: EMDR, IFS, Ego-state therapy, Poly Vagal, Psychodynamic, ACT, CBT, client centered, and family systems therapies. I'm pursuing advanced EMDR Certification being trained & mentored by top EMDRIA consultants based in Chicago.
