Whether you’re dealing with panic attacks, childhood trauma, or chronic stress, I combine EMDR with mindfulness and ACT to calm your nervous system, process painful memories, and restore emotional balance, clarity, and lasting relief.
I’m passionate about helping clients break free from old patterns and create meaningful change. Together, we’ll work to quiet the inner chaos, shift your mindset, and build emotional resilience. Therapy with me is compassionate, practical, and focused on real healing, not just coping. You deserve to feel better, and I’m here to help you get there.
