Who I help
Are you struggling with symptoms that interfere with your daily life? Have previous therapies left you feeling stuck or without lasting relief? Do you find yourself repeating your story without experiencing meaningful change? Reach out today if you are ready to confront what’s been holding you back and do the hard work of healing.
I work with adults who are navigating the effects of trauma, anxiety, depression, and overwhelming stress. Many of my clients have tried traditional talk therapy but are looking for a more effective, evidence-based approach, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Therapy services are provided through a secure virtual platform for clients located in Florida.
Here are a few examples of symptoms EMDR can help ease. Everyone’s experience is unique, so this list is not all-inclusive.
