EMDR Certified Therapist | Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Level I Trained

As a trauma psychotherapist, my passion lies in helping individuals move beyond survival and rediscover a sense of safety, vitality, and connection. I specialize in working with adults navigating the lasting impacts of trauma, and my approach integrates the evidence-based power of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with the body-centered depth of Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

I am a Certified EMDR therapist and have completed Level I training in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy through the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute. My clinical practice is rooted in the belief that healing requires more than cognitive insight—it calls for attunement to the body’s innate wisdom. Trauma often leaves traces that words alone cannot access. By paying close attention to bodily sensations, gestures, posture, and movement, clients can begin to safely process implicit memories, shift ingrained survival patterns, and embody new ways of being in the world.

At Karuna House, where I have been in private practice since 2021, I provide individual therapy with a focus on trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, and somatic integration. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion.
