Are you ready to feel more grounded, respond rather than react, and build a sense of safety and self-compassion? Trauma and anxiety can quietly shape how you see yourself and the world around you. You may be thoughtful and capable, yet feel on edge, disconnected from others, or emotionally drained. Past experiences can show up in your body, your relationships, or your ability to feel calm and present. You might feel frustrated by these patterns or unsure how to move forward, but something in you is ready for change. I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing.

Thank you for visiting my profile! Have you always been a worrier? Do you feel stressed and overwhelmed? You are not enjoying life the way you should be. Sometimes your past comes back to haunt you, which adds to your stress. You are coping the best you can, but it feels like nothing is working. We will work together to create a comfortable, safe space for you to feel heard. This allows you to increase your awareness of thoughts, feelings, and body experiences to figure out what is working and what could use some help. Sometimes we focus on the here and now, while other times the focus is on deeper work related to the past.

Are you struggling with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, panic, or a constant sense of tension that makes it difficult to relax, focus, or feel fully present in your life? Do you feel stuck in fight-or-flight, experiencing ongoing nervous system dysregulation that leaves you exhausted, hypervigilant, or emotionally overwhelmed? You may find yourself caught in cycles of overthinking, reassurance-seeking, avoidance, or compulsive behaviors that temporarily reduce distress but ultimately reinforce it. I support individuals navigating anxiety, OCD, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, and health anxiety who are ready for meaningful, lasting change.

Sometimes, life experiences have a significant impact on our ability to embrace the present moment. As a result, we engage with our current circumstances trying to defend and protect ourselves from past wounds. Yet, we long for more. More acceptance, more motivation, more healing. Maybe you've realized, "this is not working. Something needs to change and I need to figure it out." You have reached the point when you're no longer satisfied with wondering how things will work out. You want to see tangible change happen.

You're a woman between 39-50ish and something just feels OFF. It's definitely physical: the hot flashes, waking up in the night, can't remember anything, the weight gain, but it's also emotional: the mood swings, irritability, the burnout, the lack of motivation, the sense of just not feeling like yourself. You wonder if you're just "getting old", or maybe your hormones are out of whack? You are doing ALL the right things. You exercise, you eat clean, you have good relationships, a career, and just when you're starting to feel like you've got it figured out, the rollercoaster of emotions hits you. It's so incredibly frustrating

I’m a clinical psychological associate focusing on somatic, attachment-based, and trauma-informed therapy. Clients often reach out for help with overwhelm, feelings of disconnection, burnout, relational wounds, and the lingering effects of chronic stress and trauma. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns, such as avoiding conflict or suppressing emotions, that were once adaptive for their functioning and survival but now no longer serve them. Together, we can slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and support shifts that allow for more ease, choice, and self trust.
