I specialize in trauma, PTSD, EMDR, chronic pain and illness, burnout, relationship challenges, and the unique experiences of medical professionals. My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, drawing from EMDR, IFS, and family systems to help you reconnect with safety, meaning, and balance.
Healing from trauma and navigating life’s challenges doesn't have to feel so overwhelming. There is hope, and change is possible. I offer an inclusive, compassionate space where you can explore what’s been heavy to carry, rebuild resilience, and reconnect with your authentic self. Supporting clients in finding healing and renewed energy is my passion, and it’s possible for you, too.
