Having walked her own path of healing, Estella brings authenticity and depth to her therapeutic work, using evidence-based modalities, clinical expertise, and compassionate support. Her practice focuses on helping individuals process trauma, regulate their nervous systems, and develop the emotional resources needed to thrive. Whether working with individuals or in group therapy settings, Estella creates a safe, therapeutic space where clients can explore their experiences, work through obstacles, and move toward healing. Her approach is integrative, addressing the mind-body connection and the emotional complexities of trauma recovery, and she is committed to supporting her clients as they reclaim their lives.

Estella's clinical expertise lies in trauma therapy and resilience building, with specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT). She is dedicated to helping clients process traumatic memories, reconnect with their bodies, and navigate the complexities of emotional healing. Estella's therapeutic approach is grounded in the conviction that healing is possible, even when the path feels uncertain.

In her practice, Estella integrates EMDR to help clients reprocess traumatic memories, somatic therapy to address trauma held in the body, and Emotion-Focused Therapy to help clients understand and work through complex emotions. She creates a safe, therapeutic environment where individuals can process their experiences, regulate their nervous systems, and move forward with renewed strength and clarity. Outside of her clinical work, Estella enjoys spending time with her husband, Joshua, and their son, as well as sewing, traveling, and finding joy in life's meaningful moments.
