Anxiety is often a sign that the nervous system is stuck in self-protection after trauma or stress. I use EMDR, IFS/Ego States, and polyvagal frameworks to calm the body, uncover root causes, and create lasting change. I also know firsthand how consuming anxiety can feel—I bring both expertise and lived experience to help clients find relief and resilience.

OCD is often misunderstood and mistreated, leaving many to suffer silently. I specialize in trauma-informed treatment using EMDR, IFS, CBT, and nervous system regulation to break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. Having lived with OCD myself, I understand its impact and bring both empathy and evidence-based care to help clients find freedom and hope.

PTSD can leave people stuck in survival mode long after the danger has passed. I use EMDR, IFS, and polyvagal-informed tools to safely process trauma and restore balance to the nervous system. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, grounded in both training and my own healing journey, so clients can reconnect with themselves and feel present again.

I integrate CBT with EMDR and polyvagal-informed tools to shift both thought patterns and nervous system responses. For OCD, I combine CBT/ERP with trauma-focused therapies to break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions. With extensive training in trauma and OCD, I help clients create lasting change by addressing both cognitive and body-based patterns.

As an EMDRIA-certified therapist with advanced training in standard EMDR and EMDR 2.0, I use this approach to resolve trauma, anxiety, and OCD by reprocessing memories stuck in survival mode. Grounded in polyvagal theory, I help clients regulate their nervous systems during sessions for safety and effectiveness. I also integrate EMDR with CBT and Ego States work to treat complex trauma and dissociation.

I bring extensive training in IFS/Ego States therapy and integrate it with EMDR for clients with trauma and dissociation. Using polyvagal principles, I help clients connect safely with parts of themselves that carry pain, fear, or protective roles. This fosters compassion, internal harmony, and deep healing, especially for those navigating complex trauma or feeling fragmented inside.
