I specialize in treating anxiety, self esteem, and trauma in adults utilizing individual therapy and EMDR.
On the surface you have it “all together” but underneath are struggling with constant worry & self doubt. Despite being smart, driven, and incredibly hard working, life feels hard. No matter how much you do or accomplish, you never feel good enough. You always put others first and struggle to say no, even when overwhelmed. You want to heal from old wounds and break unhelpful patterns but you aren’t sure how.

I practice from a non-pathological, trauma-informed lens.
Maybe you are feeling stuck—held back by past experiences, negative self beliefs, or patterns that no longer serve you. Maybe relationships feel difficult, emotions feel overwhelming, or you are struggling to understand yourself in a deeper way. You are looking for a space where you can unpack and process, where healing feels possible, and where you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we can explore what’s weighing you down, untangle the stories that have shaped you, and work toward a greater sense of clarity, connection, and self-compassion.

I support clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, relationship issues, low self-esteem, stress and lack of clarity that big life transitions can kick up.
There is no "one size fits all” therapy approach. I draw from theories including EMDR, CBT, ACT, psychodynamic, EFT and Gottman (for couples) to heal issues stemming from depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, relational conflicts, stress, and existential unease. I often include and recommend holistic resources including the Enneagram, yoga, & Human Design.
