As an EMDR-trained clinician, I specialize in PTSD, complex trauma, and healing childhood wounds. We all have a story that is uniquely ours. There may be pages, even chapters, to your story that have had a lasting impact on you, affecting the lens through which you view yourself and the world around you. Through EMDR and other evidence-based practices, we go back to the roots and nurture those parts of you, reconnecting the brain and the body in a way that allows for lasting change.

Through developing curiosity, self-understanding, and self-compassion, old patterns can be loosened and new choices become possible. This is a creative and collaborative process that may incorporate practical problem-solving, coupled with evidence-based therapeutic modalities, balanced with elements of mindfulness and mind-body practices.
