Many of my clients look successful on the outside but feel stuck. They find themselves overthinking, people-pleasing, and questioning their worth. Many grew up with a parent who was critical or emotionally immature, and now struggle with boundaries, self-trust, and anxiety in relationships. Others are navigating the impact of a more recent event like a difficult breakup, accident, illness, or loss that they just can’t seem to move past. Longing to address these issues, my clients are seeking insight, healing, and empowerment.
I help sensitive, driven people uncover the roots of self-doubt, anxiety, and perfectionism. I use an insight-oriented approach to explore how early relationships shape current patterns, and EMDR, a powerful, evidenced based, integrative therapy in order to process trauma, heal emotional wounds, and build lasting self-trust.
Therapy is an investment, of time, energy, and care. If you're ready to understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s holding you back, and move forward with more freedom and peace, I’d love to connect for an initial 15 minute phone consultation. Together, we will explore if we are fit to engage this sacred work.

I use a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and relationally psychodynamic approach. Therapy is a collaborative process that honors the intelligence of the body, viewing it as a vital source of insight and healing. Additionally, I draw from a variety of evidence-based techniques to help you regulate your emotions, build coping skills, and shift negative thought patterns.
