Introduction

Struggling with Trauma, Grief, or Broken Relationships? Are you ready to break cycles and rebuild your life? I believe that healing from trauma requires a compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based approach. My practice is rooted in trauma-focused therapy with an attachment-based perspective, helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the effects of trauma, grief, and loss. I recognize that trauma is not just an individual experience—it is deeply influenced by cultural, historical, and systemic factors that shape how we see ourselves and relate to others. One of the key interventions I use in therapy is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, an evidence-based approach that helps clients process and heal from traumatic experiences. EMDR allows individuals to reprocess distressing memories in a way that reduces their emotional intensity, helping them regain a sense of control and emotional stability. By integrating EMDR with attachment-based therapy, I help clients not only resolve trauma but also rebuild healthier relationship patterns, increase self-awareness and strengthen their emotional resilience. Understanding the intersection of attachment, trauma, grief, and loss is critical to the healing process. Whether working with individuals healing from childhood trauma, couples struggling with relational wounds, or families seeking to rebuild trust and connection, I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can process their experiences, develop healthier relationship patterns, and reclaim their sense of identity and emotional well-being. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I use this powerful intervention to help clients process trauma, manage distressing emotions, and restore a sense of balance in their lives. This, combined with my attachment-based and trauma-informed approach, provides a comprehensive and effective pathway toward healing. If you are seeking support to achieve your mental and emotional wellness goals—whether personal, relational, or cultural—I am here to walk with you on your journey toward healing, self-discovery, and emotional empowerment.
