Are you questioning whether trauma or neurodivergence might help explain why focus, organization, social situations, or sensory experiences feel so challenging? Many clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted from navigating chronic stress, burnout, and the pressure to mask who they are in order to fit into a world that often feels overwhelming. Beneath these struggles, unresolved trauma is frequently at the root. Past experiences, whether childhood wounds, relational trauma, invalidation, or years of feeling misunderstood can shape how you see yourself, respond to stress, and connect with others.
Trauma can leave you feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, shame, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or disconnection from your authentic self. My work focuses on helping you process these experiences so they no longer define your present by using a trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming approach.
We will explore how your nervous system has adapted to protect you, build tools for emotional regulation, and gently process painful experiences at a pace that feels safe and supportive. Together, we can help you make sense of your story, heal old wounds, and create a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with who you truly are!

I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Polyvagal Theory in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. During treatment, we'll utilize CBT to look at how your thoughts affect your experience and polyvagal theory to inform the coping skills used to treat whatever needs healing.
