You might look like you’re managing everything just fine, but inside, you feel exhausted, stuck, and disconnected. Stress shows up in your body through tension, headaches, or constant fatigue. Your mind feels cluttered with racing thoughts, indecision, or forgetfulness. You may struggle to understand or express your emotions, feeling pressure to keep going even when you’re running on empty. You’re often hard on yourself, convinced you’re not doing enough, and the fear of making mistakes keeps you from starting or finishing what matters most. When no one around you talks openly about mental health, it can feel incredibly isolating.

I work primarily with adults to provide them with contained space where they can work through obstacles that hinder inner strength and wisdom. For many of us, psychopathology can be traced back to trauma or relational issues of the past. I never tire of exploring this material with my brave clients.

I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety and trauma. I am trained and certified in Brainspotting, a treatment designed to locate unprocessed trauma and allow deeper processing within the subcortical brain. Being a Certified Anxiety Informed Professional (CAIP), I also trained specifically to work with people who are worriers, over-analyzers, or individuals stuck in fear and life-draining routines. I understand individuals who have done therapeutic work before and are hoping for something different. I work from a holistic therapeutic approach to support the body, mind, and spirit toward growth and healing.

Life can be challenging and complex. At times we are faced with situations that feel overwhelming and seemingly insurmountable. Trauma can result in a loss of a sense of self and hopelessness. Engaging in therapy is a personal decision; one that requires commitment and hard work to attain life changes. I believe therapy tailored to meet individual needs can facilitate increased self-awareness leading to emotional, as well as, relational attunement and enhancement. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, offering sensitivity to experiences of marginalization, ableism, discrimination, racism, or other 'isms encountered.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted or disconnected from themselves even thought they may appear be "keeping it together". This patient might experiencing anxiety, depression, postpartum complications or a major life transition. This patient might be feeling tired, stuck, sad, unmotivated, resentful, anxious and unsure who they are or who they are becoming. This patient needs a safe and supportive space where they feel understood, where they do not feel judged and where they will be given the tools to find calmness and hope.

Are you feeling stuck although you've already achieved a lot in your life? Do you feel you have reached many of the goals in life you set for yourself, and yet still feel there is something missing or have feelings of depression and emptiness? Do you have a difficult time enjoying the success that you have achieved? Perhaps you have a feeling of not being able to reach your full potential? These are often signs of a neglect from an early home life that was lacking, to a degree, in nurturing and support.
