What is adjunct emdr?
Adjunct EMDR therapy is a short-term, collaborative approach. Instead of replacing your current therapist, you add in sessions with an EMDR provider to focus specifically on trauma, PTSD, or unresolved past experiences that may still be impacting your life.
This model is especially helpful if:
You want to heal trauma but also value having space for talk therapy.
Your therapist doesn’t provide EMDR but supports you exploring it.
You’re looking for a way to accelerate your healing while staying connected to the therapist you trust.

Special areas of focus
Eating Disorders -I started my early career working in a treatment center for eating disorders, where I gained a deep understanding of the medical, emotional, and relational complexities that come with recovery. That experience taught me how crucial it is to work with a provider who not only has specialized training but also the awareness and sensitivity to ensure treatment is safe, supportive, and never harmful.
OCD - I work with clients experiencing OCD and understand how exhausting and overwhelming the cycle of intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors can be. In addition to EMDR, I have completed specialized training in Inference-Based CBT (I-CBT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), two of the most effective, evidence-based treatments for OCD. This allows me to integrate these approaches when helpful, offering a supportive and structured way to reduce the grip of OCD and create space for relief, freedom, and more peace in daily life.
Sexual Trauma - I support clients who have experienced sexual trauma, whether it was a single event or something that happened repeatedly over time. These experiences can leave lasting impacts—feelings of shame, fear, disconnection from your body, or difficulties in relationships. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and paced in a way that prioritizes your sense of safety and control. Through EMDR, we can gently work through the painful memories, reduce their emotional charge, and help you move toward healing, empowerment, and a renewed sense of self.
First Responders-I work with first responders who often carry the invisible weight of cumulative stress and repeated exposure to traumatic events. Over time, these experiences can show up in many ways—sleep difficulties, irritability, hypervigilance, or a sense of being emotionally shut down. Through EMDR, I provide a safe, supportive space where first responders can process what they’ve been through, begin to release the burden they carry, and find meaningful relief that supports both their personal well-being and their ability to continue serving others.
