Maybe you’ve already tried talk therapy or leaned on survival strategies that helped, but haven’t found true healing. Even when life looks "together" on the outside, you might feel burned out, numb, anxious, or disconnected from yourself. If you're tired of pushing through and ready for meaningful change, you’re in the right place. I work with people who are ready to reclaim their bodies, their boundaries, and their sense of self after living with stress or traumatic experiences. You don’t have to do this alone.
My approach blends Somatic Experiencing (SE), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and attachment-focused therapy to support nervous system regulation, emotional integration, and deep inner repair. I offer compassionate, trauma-informed care where we’ll gently untangle the effects of trauma, reconnect you to your body, and restore your sense of safety and self.
You’ve carried so much for so long and you deserve support that truly sees you. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, connected, and whole, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. I invite you to embark on this transformative journey. Reach out when you're ready.providing a safe and nurturing space for you to heal and thrive.
