Waitlist for new clients
Apply for Waitlist on my website, located in address section of profile. As an EMDR Certified Therapist, I get how past trauma can leave you feeling like you’re drowning in chaos—messy family dynamics, toxic relationships, anxiety, low self-esteem—you name it, I’ve seen it. It’s exhausting to keep it together while deep down you know you need something real to heal. Whether it’s past trauma, toxic relationships, or the chaos of everyday life, with my deep understanding of trauma and how it impacts every aspect of life, we’ll tackle it together. I’m here to help you navigate it all with clarity and confidence.
