Trauma-informed counseling for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, and life's transitions with EMDR, ART, and evidence-based care.

My Approach
Healing without losing yourself.
Therapy isn't just about asking "what's wrong?"
It's about understanding what happened, how it affected you, what helped you survive it and what you need now to move forward.
I take an integrative, person-centered, trauma-informed approach. There's no single path to healing, so therapy is never one-size-fits-all.
Healing does not mean erasing the past. It means reaching a place where the past no longer has to determine your future.

FAQ

Let’s make it simple.
Common questions about sessions, memberships, and getting started.
Do I have to start trauma/ event focused processing in my first session?
No. We'll begin with getting to know each other, understanding your history, and building safety and coping skills first. Trauma processing only begins once you feel ready for it, never before.
Do I have to share every detail of what happened?
No. You're always in control of what you share. Therapy can focus on the emotions, thoughts, and body sensations connected to an experience — you never have to recount every detail.
Will I be hypnotized or lose control during EMDR or ART?
No. Neither EMDR nor ART involves hypnosis. You stay fully awake, aware, and in control the entire session, and you can pause or stop at any time.
How many sessions will I need?
There's no set number, it depends on your history, goals, and what you're working through. We'll build a plan around your needs, not a fixed timeline.
How do I know if EMDR or ART is right for me?
We’ll talk through your symptoms, history, and goals together, and decide as a team whether EMDR, ART, another approach, or a combination is the best fit for you.
