Experience matters in therapy. I bring nearly 20 years of clinical experience supporting people through trauma, anxiety, addiction, chronic stress, burnout and difficult relationships.
Life can feel exhausting when you’re constantly anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally shut down. You may understand why you’re struggling, but still feel overwhelmed, shut down or stuck in patterns you can’t seem to change.
I offer an experienced, trauma-informed approach that goes beyond simply talking things through, integrating somatic and attachment-based therapies to help you understand both your mind and nervous system and create lasting change.
I combine evidence-based therapies with a somatic, attachment-focused approach that helps you understand both your mind and your nervous system. Drawing on Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, and neuroscience, we’ll work together to build regulation, self-compassion, and lasting change.
Finding the right therapist matters. More than anything, I want you to feel comfortable, understood, and able to be yourself in our work together. I bring warmth, curiosity, and nearly 20 years of experience. We’ll work together to make sense of what’s happening and what might help.
If you think we might work well together, I’d be happy to hear from you.
