English
| español I specialize in providing integrated EMDR to LGBTQ+ youth and adults, who are struggling with complex trauma and feeling disturbed by painful past experiences. They most often feel like they are a burden, incompetent or often find themselves endlessly ruminating over worst case scenarios. Therapy is initiated when they realize that they are ready to stop spiraling and begin experiencing a sense of grounding and connection. There has been an acknowledgement that they do not have to stay stuck. Their desire to feel confident, secure, and live authentically outweighs the fear to work through their pain.

Upon establishing a secure and trusting connection, I help clients understand the neurobiological aspects of trauma, which can relieve the burden of responsibility they often feel. They learn how their brain and nervous system respond to stress and trauma, realizing that their reactions are natural physiological responses rather than personal shortcomings.
You deserve to be your authentic self and experience meaningful relationships without fear. You deserve to live your life free from the emotional ups and downs that have been holding you back. You deserve to know that you are enough—just as you are—each and every day, regardless of external circumstances. Your pain does not have to define you.
