My approach is empathetic, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I celebrate your strengths and gently invite you back into your body and back into the present with somatic practices to help you connect with your inner resilience.

Seeking support is a courageous step, and I’m here to walk alongside. Whether navigating a challenging season or seeking self-discovery, I’m committed to providing a space where you feel valued and empowered. Together, we will explore your goals and work toward creating your most authentic life.
Specialties
EMDR
Sometimes, negative experiences get stuck in our brain and body—like undigested food. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps us metabolize these memories, allowing our system to absorb what’s useful—like emotional vitamins and minerals—and release what no longer serves us, like waste. EMDR is a specialized therapy designed to help people recover from trauma and other distressing experiences. It works by using bilateral stimulation, such as eye movements or tapping, to help the brain process and reframe these memories, reducing their emotional charge and allowing for deeper healing.
Hypnosis
Clinical hypnosis is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help individuals access a trance-like state. In this state, the mind is more open to positive suggestions and therapeutic change. Clinicians use hypnosis to support treatment for issues such as anxiety, chronic pain, trauma, and habit change. Unlike stage hypnosis, clinical hypnosis is collaborative, safe, and evidence-informed, with the client maintaining full awareness and control throughout the process.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that helps people process and release trauma by identifying specific eye positions—“brainspots”—that correlate with unprocessed emotional experiences in the brain. By focusing on these spots while staying connected to bodily sensations, the brain can access deeper healing pathways. Brainspotting is often used to treat trauma, anxiety, performance blocks, and other emotional challenges, supporting the brain’s natural ability to heal itself.
Internal Family System
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic model based on the idea that the mind is made up of multiple parts, each with its own perspective, emotions, and role. These parts—such as protectors, managers, and exiles—develop in response to life experiences, especially trauma. IFS helps clients build a compassionate relationship with these parts and access their core Self, which is naturally calm, curious, and connected. From this grounded place, healing can occur as parts feel seen, understood, and unburdened. IFS is a powerful tool for deep emotional work, fostering inner harmony and self-leadership.
Somatics
Somatic Experiencing or MindBody Therapy refers to therapeutic approaches that emphasize the connection between the mind and body, recognizing that emotions, trauma, and stress are often held physically as well as mentally. Somatic therapy involves practices that increase body awareness—such as breathwork, movement, touch, and mindfulness—to help individuals release tension, regulate their nervous system, and process unresolved experiences. By tuning into physical sensations, clients can access deeper layers of healing that traditional talk therapy might not reach, allowing the body to actively participate in emotional and psychological recovery.
