We all have a story our nervous system carries. Sometimes that story shows up as anxiety, relationship patterns that seem to repeat, emotional overwhelm, or the persistent feeling that you're somehow "not enough." Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, I believe lasting change begins with understanding the root causes of these long-standing patterns. Together, we'll explore how attachment, life experiences, and your nervous system continue to influence the present so you can move forward with greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding.
My approach integrates evidence-informed psychotherapy with attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and neuroscience-informed, body-aware interventions. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy and integrate therapeutic approaches that support nervous system regulation while helping you better understand yourself—not just your symptoms.
Choosing a therapist is a personal decision. If you're looking for someone who is genuinely interested in understanding the root causes of your struggles—not simply treating symptoms—I would be honored to help you make sense of your experiences and create meaningful, lasting change.

Often my clients struggle with their sense of self-worth and the feeling of not being "good enough". At times, as an extension of these feelings clients may experience self-harm and other self-defeating behaviors. In sessions we will work to identify the root cause of these thought patterns, walking through trauma to come out in a healthier place allowing for a shift in negative thought patterns
