    About

    I bring profound expertise to guide individuals through the intricate journey of healing from trauma. My specialized approach integrates advanced body-based techniques like EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-informed psychotherapy. By fostering insight, the crucial first step to change, and facilitating transformative growth, I navigate the complexities of identifying and refining essential skills. Embracing a holistic perspective, I navigate the internal landscape with a keen awareness of the profound impact of cultural identities. Recognizing the signature trauma response that triggers a sense of danger in the brain and body, I skillfully navigate the often unreliable yet complex nature of this detection system especially in the context of relationships. Whether supporting trauma survivors or those grappling with chronic stress, burnout, or significant life changes, my extensive training positions me as your thoughtful partner. Proficient in transforming illogical thoughts and bewildering emotions into meaningful progress, I offer a compassionate and transformative therapeutic experience. Through advanced techniques like EMDR, I swiftly shift understanding of events, freeing individuals from old feelings and unhelpful beliefs. This catalyst unravels the intricacies of past trauma, paving the way for a liberated present. Beyond symptom relief, I deepen the understanding of protective behaviors, empowering individuals to transcend limits and embark on a holistic journey of emotional freedom and personal growth.
