We use approaches like EMDR therapy, mindfulness, somatic practices, and trauma-informed care to address both mind and body. This holistic style supports clients in processing difficult experiences, building healthy coping tools, and creating changes that feel lasting and empowering.

Therapy here is designed to meet clients where they are, offering insight, practical strategies, and compassionate support. The result is a safe, individualized experience where healing feels possible and progress can naturally unfold.
