If you feel a lack of peace or find that the past is negatively impacting your present, you're not alone. Many people feel this way! I love to help people understand the roots of what is contributing to difficulties and believe that you have the strengths within you to overcome them. My goal is to collaborate with you to help you find these strengths and start living life more in line with what matters most to you. My approach is grounded not only in my clinical training but also in my lived experiences. This shapes the way I connect with others facing struggles like addiction, trauma, depression, and anxiety. I offer a person-centered, trauma-focused approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor treatment to your unique needs. I am trained in EMDR, a mostly non-verbal approach that helps your brain heal from painful memories, alongside TIST to help you understand and calm the different "parts" of you that use automatic survival habits—like people pleasing or anxiety—to cope. If you're reading this, you've already taken a big step towards creating the present that's important to you, and I would love for you to reach out so that we continue to explore next steps!
