Adulting is hard! I am a CBT-certified and EMDR-trained therapist (EMDRIA approved training) who helps adults break free from patterns rooted in unresolved trauma, whether from narcissistic relationships, childhood wounds, or painful life experiences. Using EMDR, CBT, and nervous system work, I help clients heal old wounds and rebuild self trust and confidence.
As a military veteran in my second career as a therapist, I bring over 13 years of experience in community mental health, trauma work, and grief counseling. I’ve supported people through some of the hardest parts of their lives, including toxic family systems and painful relationship dynamics. Since becoming a certified trauma therapist in 2017, I’ve focused on clients dealing with unresolved trauma, anxiety, grief, life transitions, and the impact of narcissistic or toxic relationships. These experiences, along with my own journey, shaped my approach. I’m passionate about helping clients heal old wounds, rebuild self trust, and feel more grounded and in control of their lives.
