Working with me is collaborative, grounded, and human. I meet clients where they are, move at a pace that feels manageable, and approach therapy with curiosity rather than judgment. Sessions are structured enough to feel supportive, but flexible enough to respond to what’s happening in real time. We focus on safety, nervous system awareness, and practical change—while leaving room for warmth, humor, and honesty. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start; we work from exactly where you are.

I approach therapy as a collaborative, human process—not something done to you, but something we do together. I meet clients where they are, at their own pace, with curiosity, compassion, and respect for what their nervous system has learned to do to survive. I believe therapy can be deep and meaningful without feeling rigid or intimidating, and when appropriate, I bring warmth, humor, and realness into the work. You don’t have to have the “right words” or be anywhere specific to begin—just willing to show up as you are.

Yes—EMDR is adaptable for complex trauma and can be integrated with support for substance use. Sessions are paced to your needs, with grounding techniques to keep you safe throughout.

Yes. EMDR can address the trauma, triggers, and underlying emotions that often drive substance use, helping reduce cravings and improve coping skills. It’s most effective when combined with a broader recovery plan.

Not necessarily. We’ll meet you where you are, but stabilizing substance use can make therapy more effective. Together, we’ll create a plan that prioritizes your safety and progress.

Trauma often contributes to relapse, emotional triggers, or difficulty coping. Addressing trauma directly can strengthen recovery, improve self-regulation, and reduce patterns of avoidance or self-sabotage.

Yes. EMDR is widely used for PTSD, anxiety, depression, and complex trauma. Sessions are paced according to your readiness and safety.

Safety is always the priority. We’ll assess your needs and ensure support is in place before and after sessions. Crisis resources and planning are part of therapy.

Trauma doesn’t always show up in obvious ways like panic attacks or flashbacks. Sometimes it appears as irritability, low motivation, trouble trusting others, difficulty concentrating, substance use, or feeling “off” in ways you can’t quite name. All of these can be signs that your nervous system has been impacted by past experiences. In therapy, we meet you where you are—no symptom is too small or unusual to explore. Healing is about understanding your unique responses, not fitting a checklist.

Every client’s journey is unique. Some notice subtle shifts after one session; others see gradual change over weeks. Intensives often accelerate the process by offering focused, uninterrupted work.
