Trauma-Focused Therapy

I specialize in trauma healing, emotional well-being, and sustainable recovery through proven therapeutic methods. My approach includes:

  • EMDR Therapy: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process distressing memories, release emotional pain, and create lasting change.

  • Somatic Integration and Processing (SIP): This perspective looks at your symptoms and behaviors through the lens of trauma and how it impacts your nervous system.

  • Attachment-Based Therapy: Exploring how early relationships shape present patterns.

  • Polyvagal Theory: Understanding the body’s response to trauma.

  • Ego State Work: Parts work to address internal dynamics.

  • Psychodynamic Therapy: Examining the impact of past experiences on present behavior.

  • Humanistic Therapy: Focusing on personal growth and potential.

These methods, paired with genuine empathy and collaboration, create a safe, supportive environment for deep and lasting healing.

EMDR Intensives

EMDR intensives provide deep, focused trauma processing within a condensed time frame—ideal for those seeking faster results compared to traditional weekly therapy.

  • Half-Day to Multi-Day Sessions: Tailored to your needs.

  • Integration of Somatic Movement & Body Awareness: Enhancing the healing process.

  • Faster, Deeper Trauma Relief: Achieving significant progress in a shorter period.

Online Courses
