EMDR Therapy for Trauma
Trauma can feel like a heavy weight, one that’s hard to shake off. Through EMDR therapy, I help people process those painful experiences that linger, whether they're from the past or more recent events. It’s about creating space to address what’s been troubling you, so you can find relief and begin to heal. We’ll work together to help you reclaim your life and joy, letting go of the burden of trauma.

Living in today’s world can be incredibly stressful, and I get it—there are days when it all feels too much. My approach to anxiety and stress management focuses on understanding your unique experiences. Together, we’ll explore practical strategies that fit your life, helping you build resilience and find moments of calm, even amidst the chaos. You don’t have to face it alone.
Body Image and Eating Disorders Support
Our community thrives on connection, and sometimes that connection with ourselves can get lost. If you’re struggling with body image or an eating disorder, my office is a safe space for you to explore these feelings. We’ll work together to foster a healthier relationship with your body, embracing its beauty in all its forms. You deserve to feel at home in your own skin.
