About My Clients

My areas of focus are trauma and PTSD, EMDR therapy for processing difficult memories, anxiety and self-esteem challenges, LGBTQ+ issues, especially coming-out related trauma, and integrating yoga philosophy and mindfulness for stress and anxiety. Sessions focus on helping you process past experiences, develop coping tools, and rebuild the sense of safety and self-worth reconnecting with their body and inner strength.

My Background and Approach

My approach emphasizes collaboration: I work alongside you to tailor therapy to your needs, pace, and personal goals. I integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), evidence-based trauma work, and yoga philosophy and practice to help clients not only process past experiences but also reconnect with their bodies, minds, and inner resilience. My approach is holistic, honoring the connection between mind, body, and emotion in the healing process. Clients describe me as supportive, understanding, and approachable, while also providing clear guidance and clinical expertise. Therapy with me feels like a safe, structured, and compassionate space where you can explore difficult experiences without judgment. Together, we work toward processing trauma, building resilience, and cultivating a stronger sense of self.
