Introduction

Many of the people I work with have been carrying stress, trauma, or relational wounds for a long time - sometimes without fully realizing how much it has shaped them. My approach is grounded, steady and collaborative. I integrate trauma-informed care, EMDR and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help clients understand how past experiences shape present reactions, relationships, attachment patterns and coping styles. This includes supporting those recovering from - or currently navigating - narcissistic, emotionally manipulative, or coercive relationship dynamics, where boundaries may have been repeatedly dismissed or under-minded. Trauma can blur boundaries and disrupt your ability to trust your own internal signals. Together, we create enough safety and stability for your nervous system to settle - because when you feel calmer, your brain can think more clearly and real change becomes possible. Clients often say they leave sessions feeling more regulated, clearer in their thinking and more confident in setting and maintaining healthy boundaries. I bring warmth and honesty into the room. Therapy with me is thoughtful, purposeful and collaborative with room for reflection, direct conversation and meaningful growth. You don't need to have it all figured out before you begin. We'll work through it together.
