About My Clients

I wholeheartedly believe that each human brain has a natural capacity to heal. The symptoms that lead people to seek out psychotherapy are often related to difficult material from the past that they have not yet been able process on their own. I have been trained to assist my clients in unjamming the mechanisms needed in order to facilitate mental health.

My Background and Approach

I am a queer therapist who specializes in EMDR therapy. My expertise includes addressing attachment issues, addiction, and social developmental delays in adults. With a direct and solution-focused approach, I aim to provide you with practical tools and techniques tailored to your unique needs. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy and collaboration, working together to navigate and heal from past trauma. Through EMDR therapy, we will explore and process traumatic memories, fostering resilience and emotional stability.
