If you are reading this, there is a good chance something has been feeling heavier than you want to admit.

Maybe you are still showing up, going to work, taking care of people, answering the texts, and doing what needs done. From the outside, it may even look like you are fine.

But inside, it feels different.

Your mind may not slow down. Your body may feel tense for no clear reason. You may shut down, overthink, panic, snap at people you love, or keep replaying things you wish you could move past.

You may have already tried to handle it on your own. You have thought about it, prayed about it, researched it at midnight, stayed busy, minimized it, blamed yourself, and kept going because life does not usually pause just because you are hurting.

I work with trauma, anxiety, panic, and painful experiences that still feel active in your life. I use EMDR therapy to help people process the memories, beliefs, emotions, and body responses that keep showing up in the present.

You do not have to know exactly where to start. You do not have to explain everything perfectly. You can just show up, and we can slow it down together.

My style is calm, honest, and practical. I try to be direct without being harsh, supportive without pretending everything is simple, and human because therapy is already awkward enough without making it colder than it needs to be.

My hope is that therapy helps you feel steadier, less ruled by what happened, and more able to live a life that feels like your own.

If you are tired of carrying something that keeps taking up space, I would be glad to help you work through it.
