Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. You might be feeling exhausted from the constant mental chatter, struggling with feelings of being misunderstood, or overwhelmed by a sense of never being "enough." Perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself or others, find it hard to set boundaries, or constantly second-guess your decisions. You may be carrying the weight of past experiences that leave you stuck in unhealthy patterns or emotional overwhelm. You want to feel more grounded, at peace in your life, and confident in who you are. To find balance, trust your instincts, and create deeper, more authentic connections.
I offer trauma-informed therapy for adults seeking lasting change and deeper self-understanding. I use somatic practices, IFS-informed parts work, mindfulness, and nervous system-focused approaches, tailored to your unique needs.
Beginning therapy is a brave step, and it’s okay to have questions. You don’t need to have it all figured out to begin. I offer a compassionate, collaborative space where you can show up exactly as you are. If you’re curious, I’d love to connect through a 15-minute (free) consultation and see if we’re a good fit.

I work with adults who are navigating the effects of past trauma, emotional overwhelm and the challenges of living as a neurodivergent person, especially those who may be late-diagnosed or struggling to find their footing in a world that often feels out of sync with their needs. In our work together, we'll explore the root causes of what's keeping you stuck and develop a personalized plan to help
