Great to meet you!

Are you struggling to cope with a traumatic event or the loss of a loved one? Trauma and grief can leave you feeling isolated, struggling with difficult emotions, and unsure how to move forward. As a therapist specializing in trauma and grief, I create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your experiences. Here, you can process what happened without judgment and begin the healing journey towards peace and resilience.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to healing draws upon evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and IFS to equip you with tools to manage difficult emotions, identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, and build a stronger sense of self. Additionally, I offer EMDR intensives, which can be a powerful tool for accelerating your healing and reducing distress.

What you can expect from our first session

During our sessions, you can expect open communication, empathy, and unwavering support, as well as safe space to share your experiences and work towards lasting change. If you're looking for a therapist that understands the complexities of trauma and grief, and who can offer EMDR therapy, I encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
