If you're feeling weighed down by unresolved trauma, overwhelming emotions, or difficult relationships—and find it hard to break the patterns holding you back—I’m here to help. With a background in science and engineering, I bring a deep understanding of how the brain and body work together to support you in navigating emotional and behavioral challenges. I specialize in healing from trauma, managing intense emotions, changing maladaptive behavioral patterns, and working through relationship struggles. I also help with stress and anxiety that shows up in the body, including performance-related or movement difficulties.
My approach is rooted in a combination of scientific insight and human-centered care. I take the time to listen and understand you, using proven methods like Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), DBT, CBT, EMDR, ART, Brainspotting, and Focusing-Oriented Therapy to help you process pain, break through barriers, and create lasting change.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. I’m here to create a space where you’ll feel heard and understood. My practice is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and compassionate. Together, we’ll rebuild self-trust, strengthen relationships, and find fulfilment in life. Healing starts with a step. Reach out today for a free 15-minute consultation.
