How I Can Help
🛡️ EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps individuals process and heal from distressing life experiences. Through bilateral stimulation, it engages the brain's natural healing processes to reduce emotional intensity and help integrate experiences in a more adaptive and balanced way.
🎯 Anxiety & Stress
Cognitive-behavioral strategies and practical tools to manage anxiety and build resilience.
⭐ Life Transitions
Support during major life changes, career transitions, and personal growth periods.
💙 Military & First Responders
Specialized support for those who serve our communities, understanding unique challenges and experiences.
