Whether it’s the heavy weight of depression, the persistent "buzz" of anxiety, or the lingering echoes of trauma, these experiences can make life feel like a series of obstacles to survive rather than a life to be lived.
By using neuro-experiential tools like EMDR and Brainspotting, we work directly with your nervous system to process the root of the pain, rather than just managing the symptoms.

We will unpack the present stressors in your life, as well as factors that may be contributing, including childhood family dynamics, intergenerational trauma, and systemic oppression.
Have you been wishing things felt different? Maybe you haven't felt understood or accepted in your friendships or relationships. Maybe you're going through a breakup, the death of a loved one, or job loss. Or maybe you've been struggling to feel happy, even when things seem to be going well.

Do you feel like you’ve gotten too far away from who you really are, or who you want to be? Together, we will bring awareness to where you have been, where you are now, and where you want to go. While insight is essential, true transformation comes not just from being aware of how the past has influenced the present, but by processing through the mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and neurological remnants of those previous experiences and embodying new ways of being. Therapy can help you gain the clarity, confidence, and courage you need to change your life.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, capable adults who find themselves feeling stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift.

Clients typically come to my practice because something no longer feels sustainable. This may show up as anxiety, emotional exhaustion, difficulty setting boundaries, or a growing sense that they have lost touch with
