Are you struggling with being triggered by the people around you? Do you feel that trauma that you experienced in the past is affecting you in the present? Do you feel overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, reactive or emotionally raw? Oftentimes unprocessed trauma and impactful experiences can lead us to feeling reactive, emotionally raw, anxious and depressed. By looking into the events that have shaped us, and digging deep into the roots, we can re-process trauma and painful experiences, helping the body and brain to heal, bringing relief. I use an integrative therapy approach and am trained in EMDR.

“People start to heal, the moment they are heard.” Belonging, Affirmation/Validation and Trust are the pillars of the space I hold for clients. I believe that when our lives are disrupted and we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances we face, it's helpful to have a place to share our feelings, concerns and experiences safely. From that place of safety, we can create a plan together and move towards becoming more cohesive and balanced.

Many people have become more aware of their mental health needs, but aren’t always sure what to do with this new awareness. Making sense of how past events may be continuing to impact you, identifying preferred ways of living, determining what you've got to put up against any mental health concerns present in your life, and mapping out how to live into the person that you want to be, are all things that can be accomplished in therapy.

I work with professionals, parents, and overextended hearts who carry the weight of it all quietly. Maybe you’re doing okay—managing work, showing up for others—but life feels busy, distracted, and a little disconnected. You want to take better care of yourself, build healthier habits, feel more connected in your relationships, and live more intentionally… but it’s hard to find the time or energy to follow through. Productivity and constant doing have been glorified—often at the expense of rest, connection, and the deeper parts of ourselves. We’ve lost sight of what truly matters.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, chronic pain, or OCD? Our emotional struggles can often accompany a disconnect between ourselves and others in our lives, and also between our minds and our emotions and bodies. When we do not feel whole we do not seem to be able to live fully and meaningfully within ourselves or in our relationships. You are not alone in this struggle. I can help you reconnect with yourself. We can work together to identify the underlying internal processes and address triggers to your difficulties to help you reach the change that you desire.

Maybe you’ve tried to get help before, but it just wasn’t the right time or the right fit. Or maybe this is your first time considering therapy, but taking that first step just seems like the most terrifying and vulnerable thing to do.

Do you struggle with trauma, mental health challenges, or substance use that impacts your day-to-day life, relationships, or ability to function? Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or lost by the weight of past experiences, mental blocks, or performance anxiety? Do you wonder if life could be better, or hope that you can break free from the emotional barriers holding you back?
Now more than ever, many people feel uncertain & anxious about overcoming past trauma, navigating mental health struggles, or finding their place in demanding environments. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live better, and that there is hope for healing

You've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much," but deep down you know you're just trying to survive with a nervous system that's been through too much, too young. Maybe you live with big emotions, a racing mind, or deep shame from past sexual trauma. You might mask your ADHD, feel stuck in patterns tied to BPD, or struggle to believe you're worth loving. You want therapy that gets the nuance—someone who sees your pain and your magic. You’re craving a soft, non-judgmental space to heal, create, and finally feel safe being your full self. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical—it can feel like coming home.

You are constantly walking on eggshells. Always on high alert, your highly sensitive brain is always scanning other people's expressions 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 of everything you do. 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 helps for long.
