Many people carry the effects of painful or overwhelming experiences long after they’ve ended. Together, we’ll work to identify the ways you've adapted to traumatic experiences (such as anxiety, hypervigilance, numbness, or self-blame) and build tools to regulate your emotions, reconnect with your body, and move toward healing at a pace that feels right for you.
My approach to trauma therapy is relational, collaborative, and grounded in safety and evidence-based practices. I draw from modalities such as EMDR, parts work, attachment theory, and somatic strategies to help you build a sense of empowerment and trust in yourself again.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy for healing from trauma and distressing life experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR helps the brain process and integrate painful memories so they no longer feel as emotionally charged or triggering.
​
During EMDR, we use bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) while you focus on a specific memory, thought, or body sensation. This process helps your brain “reprocess” the memory, allowing it to move from a stuck, distressing state to one where it feels resolved and less reactive.
​
EMDR can be helpful not only for trauma but also for anxiety, grief, phobias, negative self-beliefs, and more. Sessions always move at your comfort level. We’ll spend time preparing and building coping tools before beginning any reprocessing work, ensuring that you feel grounded and supported throughout the process.

Whether you were diagnosed as a child or are currently exploring potential neurodivergence, the emotional impact of being neurodivergent often goes unaddressed. Our work together can address the impacts of growing up in a world that isn't catered to you, and unpacking the negative messages we internalize about being different.
​
Your neurodivergence isn't something that needs to be fixed and you don't need to bully yourself to get things done.
My executive functioning support focuses on supporting clients develop tools to manage day to day challenges. This can include body doubling in sessions, developing systems and structure for approaching challenging tasks, learning ways to adapt work/home environments, reducing burnout from 'boom or bust' cycles, and gaining strategies for outsourcing executive functioning demands.
