About me
It’s time to break free from the grip of trauma
I work with individuals like you—people who have the strength within them to find peace, confidence, and joy, but who need support and guidance to uncover it. Together, we’ll gently explore the parts of you that feel stuck or overwhelmed, working with your nervous system to foster stability and healing, helping you rediscover a true connection to yourself so you can live fully in the present.
Together, we work to heal from trauma and create space for you to feel fully present and engaged in your life today.
Many of today’s approaches to therapy are generalized and focus only on surface-level symptom management, leaving people feeling stuck or like they’re not making real progress. I understand that your experiences are deeply personal, and our work together will honor your individual story and needs. Each step is approached with care and intention, keeping your healing and well-being at the center of the process.
First, we work to uncover and gently identify the root of what’s keeping you stuck, using a trauma-informed approach that ensures safety and compassion. Then, we build on that foundation by integrating strategies like EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, and Internal Family Systems, focusing on approaches that resonate most with you. Through our work together, you’ll gain the clarity, self-trust, and freedom you need to live your most authentic and truest life.
How I work
I am dedicated to helping adults find relief from trauma, reclaim a sense of peace, and feel grounded in their lives and connected to those around them.
My training in trauma and somatic based therapies reflect my dedication and expertise you deserve when it comes to healing from deep-rooted pain and finding lasting change. At the end of the day, I know that you want to work with someone who truly “gets” what it means to struggle with feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.
I understand, because I’ve dedicated myself to helping people heal from trauma and anxiety. I know how exhausting it can feel to manage these challenges on your own, especially when it seems like past experiences keep affecting your present. When we work together, you’ll have more than just a trained therapist—you’ll have someone who truly understands what you’re going through and is here to support you every step of the way.
