Going to school, work, or social events can be terrifying for some. Feelings of anxiety become paralyzing even before we arrive. Whether it's trying to manage stress with school or work demands, navigate feelings around change or loss, or handle social situations like entering conversations or dealing with rejection or bullying, it can be exhausting. We get stuck in habits that can keep us from living productive lives and forming healthy relationships and we may isolate, turn inward, and experience mood shifts. My clients want a space where they can be heard, not-judged, and learn coping skills to build confidence and stability.

I am trained in art therapy, EMDR, DBT, IFS, solution focused and other therapies.
I know what it’s like to deny, repress, and misinterpret stories of trauma influencing critical beliefs and maladaptive behaviors, making it difficult to find joy. I have learned that trauma related stress depends more on how we manage attention, than on what happened to us. By turning attention toward Self and connecting mindfully, we can move out of mental rumination, cut through stuckness, and move forward with authenticity and hope. I invite you to be mindful, slow down, share your story, tap inner wisdom through "aha" moments and reclaim the kindest, boldest, most loving version of yourself.
