About My Clients

Have you been feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or just emotionally stuck? Maybe you're carrying the weight of something painful; like the aftermath of a betrayal, a tough life transition, or the lingering effects of trauma. These experiences can shake your sense of safety and make it hard to feel like yourself. Sometimes the people around us don’t fully understand what we’re going through and that can make things feel even more lonely. Together we can work toward feeling more grounded.

My Background and Approach

My background is rooted in a deep commitment to supporting individuals as they heal from the emotional wounds that significantly impact their lives. I am an EMDR therapist working from a foundation of a trauma-informed perspective , which means I prioritize understanding how trauma affects the mind and body, ensuring that my approach is sensitive to the unique experiences of each client. My approach is client-centered and strength-based, focusing on the resilience and strengths that each individual brings to our sessions. I recognize that navigating the aftermath of trauma can feel overwhelming and isolating. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship, which allows us to collaborate closely in developing personalized strategies that foster resilience and enhance well-being. Drawing from various approaches, I tailor each session to meet the unique needs of my clients, to align with their personal journey.
