About My Clients

I specialize in helping adults manage PTSD, C-PTSD, and trauma-related dissociation. If you're experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, flashbacks, nightmares, or intrusive thoughts, you're not alone. These challenges can disrupt daily life, affect relationships, and complicate trust-building. It's common to feel emotionally numb or have heightened reactions. Physical symptoms such as tension, pain, or fatigue are also frequent. Together, we can work towards healing.

My Background and Approach

As an EMDRIA-certified EMDR therapist, I specialize in treating complex PTSD through a personalized blend of EMDR, Progressive Counting, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. My approach is tailored to address the unique facets of trauma, ensuring effective treatment for each client. EMDR is central to my practice, effectively processing traumatic memories to reduce their emotional impact significantly. Progressive Counting allows clients to work through traumatic events gradually, minimizing emotional distress. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy focuses on releasing physical trauma stored in the body, beneficial for those with dissociative and somatic symptoms. As a neurodivergent therapist, I am deeply attuned to the challenges faced by neurodivergent, queer, gender non-conforming, and trans individuals. My practice is built on inclusivity, providing a safe, affirming space for all clients. The therapeutic process begins with a comprehensive assessment to customize therapy to individual needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that every individual possesses the inherent capacity for healing and growth. My therapeutic philosophy is grounded in the conviction that therapy should be a collaborative, empowering process where clients are active participants in their healing journey. I hold a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit and strive to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their deepest challenges. I am committed to understanding each person's unique story and tailoring my approach to meet their specific needs. My practice is inclusive and affirming, welcoming individuals from all backgrounds and walks of life. I believe in the transformative power of therapy to unlock potential, foster self-discovery, and facilitate meaningful change.
