Welcome, I’m really glad you’re here. I’m deeply passionate about working with PTSD, eating disorders, and supporting children and teens who are struggling with painful experiences. While much of my work centers around supporting children and teens, I also work with adults who are healing from childhood trauma, complex PTSD, relational wounds, and narcissistic abuse. Whether you’re navigating long-standing anxiety, painful past experiences, or the lingering effects of trauma, I strive to create a space that feels warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of your story.
I offer a gentle, holistic approach that honors mind, body, and spirit. My priority is creating a safe, supportive space where you feel seen and heard. I tailor each session to your needs. Helping you quiet racing thoughts, heal old wounds, and find calm within - with a little laughter along the way.
Our time together can feel like an honest, supportive conversation with someone who truly listens and holds space for the hard parts, while reminding you that you’re not alone. No matter what you’re carrying - racing thoughts, old wounds, or a quiet hope for more ease and self-compassion - I’m here to help you feel more grounded, whole, and hopeful again.
