PTSD can leave your body stuck in survival mode long after the danger has passed — always scanning, always bracing, even when you're safe. I help clients gently process what happened, using trauma-informed approaches that work with the nervous system, not just the mind. The goal isn't to erase what happened, but to help your body and mind learn that the past is over, so you can feel present, grounded, and free to live your life now.

Anxiety rarely shows up out of nowhere — often, it's the nervous system's way of staying alert to a world that once felt unpredictable or unsafe. I help clients understand their anxiety not as something broken to fix, but as a response that made sense given what they've lived through. Together, we work at the root — using trauma-informed approaches to help your body and mind learn that safety is possible now, so anxiety no longer has to run the show.

Addiction often isn't about the substance itself — it's about what the substance was helping you survive. I help clients understand their use with compassion rather than judgment, exploring what it's been protecting them from. Together, we work toward healthier ways of coping, so relief doesn't have to come at the cost of your wellbeing, your relationships, or your sense of self.

EMDR is a therapy approach that helps your brain fully process painful or traumatic memories that got "stuck." Using bilateral stimulation, like guided eye movements, it helps move a memory from something that still feels raw and present to something that's simply part of your past — often creating shifts that talk therapy alone can't reach.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is based on the idea that we're all made up of different "parts" — protective parts that developed to keep us safe, and a core Self underneath them that's naturally calm and compassionate. In IFS, we get curious about your parts rather than silencing them, understanding what they're protecting you from, so they can relax and let your true Self lead.
