With advanced training in EMDR and complex trauma, I help survivors of abuse reprocess the experiences that still echo in daily life. Reprocessing reduces the emotional intensity of memories, interrupts trauma responses, and makes space for stability and self-trust. My approach is validating, practical, and focused on helping you move from survival toward building the life you want, rather than remaining defined by the past.

As an EMDRIA-certified trauma therapist, I specialize in helping clients reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer drive present reactions. PTSD often shows up as intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, or a nervous system that won’t settle. Together we focus on nervous system regulation, reprocessing distressing experiences, and strengthening your capacity to handle life with more clarity, energy, and resilience

Divorce can bring grief, conflict, and identity shifts that leave you feeling unsteady. With experience supporting clients through trauma and high-conflict family law, I guide individuals in reprocessing the experiences and stressors tied to separation and custody. Our work helps reduce reactivity, bring clarity to decisions, and rebuild confidence. You don’t have to navigate this alone—therapy can provide the structure needed to move forward.

As an EMDRIA-certified therapist, I use EMDR as a foundation for therapy. EMDR helps reprocess disturbing memories so they no longer carry the same emotional weight or trigger current reactions. Clients often notice less distress, improved nervous system regulation, and greater freedom to live in the present. I integrate EMDR with other approaches to make therapy effective, practical, and responsive to each person’s needs.

IFS focuses on understanding and working with the “parts” of ourselves that hold pain, protection, or unmet needs. I use IFS-informed approaches to help clients build compassionate awareness of their inner system, reduce self-blame, and bring harmony between parts. This work is not about eliminating or fixing parts, but about learning how to listen to them so they no longer have to carry overwhelming roles alone.

Expressive arts therapy uses creativity—such as writing, drawing, music, or movement—as a pathway to healing. You do not need to be “artistic” to benefit; the focus is on expression rather than product. Engaging the arts activates different parts of the brain and body, making it easier to explore emotions, release tension, and discover new perspectives. I integrate expressive methods into therapy when words alone aren’t enough to capture the full experience.
