Trauma therapist. Doylestown, Bucks County. Telehealth across Pennsylvania and Arizona. The name * * * ## Why "Brave Embers." Brave Embers was born from my own healing journey. No matter what we have endured, there is an ember within each of us that cannot be extinguished by pain, trauma, loss, or life's challenges. Sometimes that inner light becomes buried beneath shame, fear, self-doubt, or survival patterns, making it difficult to remember it is there. My role as a therapist is not to "fix" you, but to help you rediscover that ember within yourself. Together, we nurture it with compassion, curiosity, and care until it begins to glow again. How I work * * * ## Curiosity before certainty. Rather than focusing on what's "wrong" with you, I view symptoms as adaptive responses to life experiences and work to understand them with curiosity and compassion. The behavior, the thought loop, the shutdown — each was, at some point, a solution. Sessions weave together somatic work, EMDR, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (trained, Level 1), parts-centered work, experiential practices, ERP, neurofeedback, and Safe and Sound Protocol (Certified SSP Provider) as they fit you. The modalities are in service of you — not the other way around. I work with adults only. My focus is on individuals and group work. If eating disorders, complex trauma, body image, or the aftermath of sexual abuse are part of your story, this is my home terrain. Where I practice * * * ## In person and by telehealth. I live and work in Doylestown, in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. You can meet me in person at my Doylestown office, or by secure video from wherever you feel most grounded — telehealth is available to adults across Pennsylvania and Arizona. While I work with clients across both states, I have a soft spot for the folks closest to home in Bucks and Montgomery County. The Doylestown office * * * ## Where in-person sessions happen. A quiet suite in a stone building off New Britain Road in Doylestown, with free parking at the door. ![Stone building housing the Brave Embers Wellness office in Doylestown, with white-trimmed windows and an arched front entrance.](/__l5e/assets-v1/b26228cf-e47d-43b0-915f-103e2ae59cfb/be-well-exterior-front.webp) ![Therapy room at Brave Embers Wellness, Doylestown — a gray armchair facing a cream sofa with blush pillows beneath sunlit windows.](/__l5e/assets-v1/38046aeb-cad8-43a3-97e2-e62903c46559/be-well-therapy-room-wingback.webp) ![Second therapy room at the Doylestown office, with a brass arc floor lamp, a high-backed gray chair and a soft cream loveseat.](/__l5e/assets-v1/56f87933-a7a5-4180-bb9e-af0cef53a198/be-well-therapy-room-arc-lamp.webp) Credentials * * * ## Training & credentials.
