I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals who look like they have it all together on the outside, but inside feel weighed down by anxiety, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the pressure to please everyone else. My clients are often accomplished and driven, yet they struggle to feel the same confidence internally that they project externally. Often, they don’t realize how much these struggles are connected to earlier experiences of emotional neglect or relational trauma, subtle wounds that taught them to overperform, people-please, and silence their own needs.
I'm a Certified EMDR Therapist through EMDRIA. In therapy, we gently explore hidden layers, making space for healing and self-discovery. My goal is to help you move beyond survival strategies into a life marked by peace, authenticity, and self-worth. I specialize in half-day to multi-day EMDR intensives for those ready to go deeper than weekly therapy allow.
I offer deeply attuned, relational therapy, where feeling truly seen becomes part of the healing. I’m not afraid to enter the emotional trenches and help transform pain into growth. If you’re ready for deeper work, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. Telehealth available in GA & TN.

I specialize in supporting high-performing individuals who appear to have it all together, yet inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or never quite "enough." Many are surprised to discover how much these patterns are tied to unacknowledged emotional neglect or relational trauma, early experiences that taught them to overachieve, people-please, and silence their own needs.

As a trauma specialist trained in EMDR, I help clients process and reframe painful experiences, creating space for resilience and clarity. My approach is deeply relational, with connection as a healing force. I also draw from attachment theory and parts work (Ego States/IFS), tools that help process trauma, release emotional blocks, and support lasting change.
