My Approach 

​

Beginning trauma therapy can feel daunting. Many people carry fears about becoming overwhelmed or opening experiences that may feel unmanageable. These concerns make sense; trauma often involves moments that were too much to hold alone.

​

Trauma therapy does not mean reliving everything or moving faster than feels safe. Healing happens through care, pacing, and choice, with attention to building stability and support. Our work will unfold in a way that respects both what you’ve been through and what you’re ready for now.

​

I offer trauma-informed psychotherapy, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), for adults who are impacted by past or ongoing traumatic experiences. Trauma may stem from a single event, repeated relational harm, or long-term exposure to stress that exceeded your capacity to cope at the time. 

I completed basic EMDR training through EMDR Cleveland, an EMDRIA-approved training provider. ​I approach EMDR as a relational and collaborative process. Before beginning reprocessing memories, we take time to build internal supports, strengthen resources, and develop a sense of safety and readiness. This foundation helps the work feel steady and contained, supporting your ability to remain grounded as experiences are integrated in a way that feels sustainable and respectful.
