It's time to create the calm and meaningful life you've been hoping for. Stress and trauma affect how you feel, think, behave, and how your body works. This can manifest as anxiety and phobias, depression, sleep issues, chronic pain, addiction, relationship issues, and general malaise. I treat you as a whole person (body, mind, and spirit), personalizing modalities like Hypnosis, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, and Nervous System Re-training to work for you so that distress is released and healthy patterns are established. I teach you skills so that you live a happy, peaceful, and fulfilling life.

If therapy hasn’t worked for you before, it may be because conditions like personality disorders, chronic anxiety, and emotional dysregulation require highly specialized treatment. I provide dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) delivered as it was intended. I take a client-centered approach, tailoring therapy to each individual’s unique needs and goals. As my work is rooted from an integrative approach, I use multiple evidence-based modalities including CBT, and ACT to provide flexible and individualized care. I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues and many other problems. Reach out today!

You don’t have to stay trapped in that cycle. Imagine the freedom of no longer performing and finally being yourself. With the right support, it’s possible to quiet the noise and feel at ease in your real, imperfect, remarkable self.

Welcome. I'm so glad you found your way here. I believe we're all much more resilient than we give ourselves credit for. When we've lived through difficult or overwhelming experiences, our minds and bodies do remarkable things to help us survive. However, it's often those same protective patterns that can keep us feeling stuck or anxious long after the danger has passed. I offer a warm, grounded, and individually paced approach that helps you make sense of these patterns, gently loosen their hold, support your nervous system in reconnecting with the safety of the present moment, and move toward the life you want to live.

When you have spent years keeping everyone else happy, navigating difficult dynamics, or managing a constant mental load, your body eventually learns to live on high alert. It usually shows up as an underlying anxiety, quiet exhaustion, or a deep-seated self-doubt. I specialize in helping women step out of that survival fog and find their way back home to themselves. You don't need to be "fixed" - you just need a dedicated, protective space to safely set down what isn't yours, untangle your protective parts, settle your nervous system, and reclaim your own voice and truth. I'm here to walk alongside you.
