I offer an integrated, trauma-informed approach that blends psychotherapy with mindfulness, somatic awareness, and holistic tools.
Do you put your own needs last and feel overwhelmed, anxious, grieving, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? You may be navigating trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, health concerns, or feeling lost at school, work, or home. Some days, just getting through can feel exhausting and lonely. You want a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgment. Together, we focus on helping you feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to cope, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and move forward with greater clarity, emotional stability, confidence, and a stronger sense of self in everyday life.

I support young adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or uncertain about what's next. Whether you're navigating school, university, work, relationships, family expectations, ADHD, self-esteem, burnout, or major life transitions, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can be yourself. Many of my clients are high achievers who look like they have it all together on the outside but feel stressed, disconnected, or exhausted on the inside. Together, we'll work toward greater confidence, balance, and a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Feeling overwhelmed by life’s relentless demands, constantly caring for others while neglecting yourself? You’re not alone—and you’re in the right place for support. I work with individuals managing ADHD, anxiety, and burnout, helping break the cycle of giving without replenishing your own energy. Coming from a teaching background where duties always came first, and as a military spouse facing frequent relocations and distance from loved ones, I deeply understand the mental load and exhaustion. I get that prioritizing oneself often feels selfish, but meeting your own needs builds the strength to show up fully for others.

As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I use a trauma-informed nervous-system approach to ease anxiety and strengthen boundaries.
Many of the women I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted from trying to hold everything together. They’re smart, capable, and self-aware, yet stuck in the same patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s emotions. If you relate, you’re not alone.
I help women who struggle with relationship challenges, chronic stress, and the lingering impact of trauma. You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling disconnected from your body, or constantly doubting your worth. On the outside you appear "fine", but inside you feel tense and overwhelmed.

We'll explore how your inner world shows up in your relationships, your body, and your day-to-day life and I draw from different approaches depending on what feels most helpful for you in the moment, including CBT, somatic therapy, parts work, mindfulness, and attachment-based work.
As a therapist, my practice is rooted with a psychodynamic approach, which really just means I’m interested in the deeper layers of your experience, your patterns, your relationships, and the ways your past might still be shaping how you feel and show up in the world today. I’m less focused on quick fixes and more interested in meaningful, lasting change that comes from truly understanding yourself with more compassion and clarity.

May 2026 - You are walking on eggshells. Always on high alert, your highly sensitive neurodivergent brain is always scanning the room to make sure everything is okay. You over-apologize, over-explain, over-share or disconnect and push your emotions deep down. You feel different - too emotional, too “much”. A sense of loneliness and longing for something you can’t describe looms in the background. No matter what you try the feeling that there’s “something wrong with you” just won’t let up. You try to feel better - you have journaled, meditated, tried therapy, medication, breathwork…but nothing seems to help for long

I work collaboratively with my clients exclusively from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy and Somatic Therapy perspective.
The past throws stones to the present, and that is what brings many people to therapy. I believe we all have the capacity to heal, but often our own story can get in the way of that healing. If this is your first time seeking out a therapist or if you've done this before, it is my hope to work alongside you, at your pace, and collaborate to make a plan that addresses your needs. With this, it is important for you to choose a therapist who is a good fit and connects to your needs. I encourage you to explore my website and reach out to me to determine if we are that fit for you.

I weave together my experiences in mental health care with Somatic Experiencing (with optional hands-on touch work), Internal Family Systems/parts work, nature-based therapy, attachment theory, polyvagal theory and general fun facts about the nervous system.
I support individuals to feel less stuck in old patterns, more regulated and able to navigate their emotions. My specialties include highly sensitive persons (HSP's), eating disorders/body image concerns, grief & life transitions, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, insecure attachment, anxiety and depression, PMS/PMDD, trauma/PTSD, and relationship challenges.

Relationships can be our greatest source of joy, and our deepest pain when they begin to struggle. We all long to feel loved, appreciated, and respected. When connections begin to break down, our sense of stability can suffer, often leading to heartache, disconnection, and isolation. As a relational therapist, I am passionate about helping people restore connection and understanding in their relationships. I support clients navigating relationship conflict or breakdowns, neurodiversity, non-traditional relationship structures, including non-monogamy, intimacy concerns, divorce, affair recovery, and complex friend or family dynamics.

Aug 2026 - Accepting New Clients! Are you an intelligent, hardworking, empathic person - but you feel so stuck?

I am happy to work with an extensive range of clients and organize my practice around providing Client-Centred Therapy grounded in empirically-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Additionally, I have lived experience as a first responder and am passionate about addressing the unique challenges associated with fulfilling such roles. In my experience working with people over the last 10 years, I've found that often their challenges are best addressed first and foremost by being heard; this act of listening is a gift that unlocks the resources hidden within.

You’re a smart, hard-working, highly sensitive person in your 20s or 30s — but you feel stuck.
You might recognize the patterns: people-pleasing, over-apologizing, oversharing, overworking, and putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own. Your anxiety feels constant. Your inner critic analyzes every word and decision. You’re always trying to improve yourself, yet it never feels like enough.
Maybe you’ve wondered: Is this anxiety? ADHD? Depression? Trauma?
You’ve read the self-help books, tried meditation, journaling, mental health walks - you know you’re supposed to “love yourself,” but you’re not sure how to actually get there.

We specialize in trauma-focused therapy that integrates neuroscience with creative, somatic, and relational approaches, including CRM, expressive arts, parts work, IFS, and TIST.
Are you longing to feel more grounded, connected, and at peace within yourself? Do past experiences, overwhelming emotions, or relationship patterns get in the way of the life you want? Maybe you feel stuck, exhausted, or unsure if things can get better, but something inside you still hopes for change. Life can feel fast, overwhelming, and filled with pressure to "be your best self." It's easy to get lost in worry, self-doubt, or feeling like you're not enough. But healing is possible. You don’t have to stay stuck in old patterns. With the right support, you can reconnect with calm, clarity, and strength.
