Waitlist for new clients
I'm a certified trauma therapist (CTP) integrating relational, somatic, and psychodynamic-based interventions in my work to help clients feel calm and more empowered to show up authentically in their daily lives.
You're good at masking but inside you feel alone and overwhelmed. Asking for help wasn’t a safe option in the past so now you can’t help but feel like a burden when you need support. And sometimes it feels like your relationships are surface level or one-sided. Please know that you’re not alone! People who experienced chaotic or unstable childhoods often feel this way, and it is possible to heal and live the fulfilling life that you deserve. It may feel out of reach but you can grow the ability to set and maintain healthy boundaries, identify and communicate your needs, and even find compassion and acceptance for yourself.

I have experience supporting adults, couples, adolescents, and children, as well as adults in group therapy addressing such issues as trauma, self-worth, relationships, phase of life transitions, self esteem, substance use, mood disorders, and personality disorders.
The relationship between client and therapist is essential for meaningful work to take place. To honor your process, I will approach our discussions with warmth, empathy, sometimes humor, and realness, all with the intent to challenge you as we create the space to face your experience of the world. My therapeutic approach is integrative and relational, rooted in the idea that our past experiences influence our reflexive responses to the world around us as we move through it. In our work we will focus on the present and past to discover and adapt what hasn’t historically worked, as you navigate relationships, stressors, and change.

Also, I'm trained in Attachment Focused EMDR (EMDRIA Certified) and Trauma Resiliency Model which focuses on PTSD, long-term exposure to neglect, physical, and sexual abuse, and drug and alcohol dependency.
Most of us come into therapy seeking change. Maybe we hurt too much, feel lonely, depressed, anxious, or hate our job. Our relationship might be faltering or we're feeling overwhelmed by the family. What I've learned is that we come into therapy thinking that we have one story, or narrative, and that narrative is set and fixed. I believe we've forgotten that we have a multitude of stories, or alternative narratives. Those alternative narratives can be discovered and shed light on new options and possibilities, while expanding our understanding of what we once believed was unalterable.

Whether it’s anxiety, burnout, ADHD, trauma, or a major life shift we’ll tackle it together.
The emotional labor never stops. At home, you’re the one managing the family schedule, remembering doctor’s appointments, keeping everything running smoothly. At work, it’s more of the same. You’re the one checking in on coworkers, remembering birthdays, making sure the team dynamic stays intact all while handling your actual job. The weight of it all is constant, always running in the background, making it nearly impossible to fully focus, rest, or just be. Even when you try to set boundaries, the pressure doesn’t ease up. Say yes to everything, and burnout creeps in. Say no, and you risk being seen as difficult, and uncaring.
