I am an EMDRIA-Certified Therapist with many years of experience helping clients heal trauma, process complex pain, and reconnect with their true selves.
If you are living in survival mode facing anxiety, unresolved trauma, or patterns that keep repeating you don’t have to stay there. Healing is absolutely possible, and every part of you matters.
Specialties
I specialize in treating:
I am EMDRIA Certified and have extensive experience in Internal Family Systems (IFS). By integrating IFS parts work into EMDR sessions, we honor and heal the protective parts that developed in response to trauma.
This approach supports deep transformation and inner harmony, helping you move beyond coping and toward genuine healing. Research demonstrates that combining EMDR and IFS enhances outcomes for complex trauma.
Somatic and Polyvagal Integration: I am trained in Somatic Experiencing and Polyvagal theory. Because trauma lives in the body as much as in the mind, I incorporate somatic and polyvagal-informed techniques into my EMDR sessions to help release stored trauma, regulate the nervous system, and restore a sense of safety and connection within the body.
Mindfulness, Meditation, and DBT Skills: Trauma can make both the body and mind rigid. Through mindfulness, meditation, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, I support emotional clarity, self-compassion, and cognitive flexibility helping you respond to life with greater calm and awareness.
DBT Leadership and Expertise
As the former Clinical Director at the Delray Center for Healing in South Florida, I oversaw one of the few DBT programs in the United States operated with full fidelity to the original model.
Why These Modalities: My work is grounded in evidence-based and integrative practices that support sustainable healing and resilience.
EMDR is endorsed by the World Health Organization, the ISTSS, and the VA/DoD as the leading treatment for PTSD.
IFS is recognized by SAMHSA for its effectiveness in reducing PTSD, anxiety, depression, and dissociation.
DBT is one of the most extensively researched therapies for emotional regulation and trauma recovery.
Somatic and polyvagal-informed methods help restore balance and safety in the body essential for lasting healing.
What to Expect
1. Build Safety
We begin by creating a strong foundation through nervous system regulation, parts mapping, and emotional resilience. Safety and stability come first.
2. Process
Using IFS-informed EMDR, somatic, and polyvagal techniques, we process trauma safely and effectively at a pace that feels right for you.
3. Integrate
We develop self-trust, insight, and connection so you can live from your authentic self rather than from trauma responses. The goal is not just symptom relief, but genuine transformation and wholeness.
You Deserve to Feel Whole
You are not broken. Your responses make sense.
But you don’t have to keep surviving.
You can heal. You can reclaim your life.
If you are ready to move from fragmentation to wholeness, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
