Trauma Therapist Specializing in EMDR, Anxiety & Complex PTSD

You may know exactly why you struggle, but still find yourself reacting in ways you can't seem to change.

Perhaps anxiety keeps showing up even when life looks relatively stable. Maybe you find yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns, constantly questioning yourself, or feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem bigger than the situation in front of you.

These struggles often make more sense when we understand the experiences that shaped them.

I specialize in helping adults heal from childhood trauma, complex PTSD, anxiety, attachment wounds, and other difficult life experiences. As a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant™, I use EMDR therapy and trauma-focused psychotherapy to help clients process painful experiences, reduce distress, and create lasting change.

My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel understood, challenged when needed, and supported as you work toward the life you want to create.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, the effects of childhood experiences, relationship difficulties, or feeling stuck despite years of self-awareness, you don't have to figure it out alone.

I provide telehealth therapy to clients throughout California and Florida.
