If you’re feeling stuck in anxiety, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm or repeating patterns, I offer a warm, trauma-informed therapy to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface and create lasting change. Some people know exactly what they want help with; others need support to understand their difficulty. Either way, we work together at your pace to explore how past experiences shape present responses.
I work in an experiential, emotion-focused way, helping you notice how emotions and bodily responses show up in the present moment. This trauma-informed, attachment-based approach is highly effective and aims to create deep, lasting change by shifting patterns in real time.
I work with physical symptoms like panic, tension, dissociation and FND. With compassion, I help clients attend to feelings safely and feel more in control of their emotional responses. You’re welcome to contact me for a free initial call, followed by a commitment-free first session.
