Feeling stuck, triggered, or numb can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. I support adults working through trauma responses so they can reconnect with clarity, steadiness, and safety. I specialize in complex trauma, including sexual assault, narcissistic abuse, & growing up with emotionally immature parents. I also support those w/moral injury—when people you care about seem unfazed by shifts in values, leaving you feeling divided and longing for deeper understanding. These experiences often show up as anxiety, shame, guilt, self‑doubt, low self‑worth, trust issues, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others.
My clients often appear high‑functioning but feel stuck in survival mode—numbing, overthinking, shutting down, or reacting in ways they can’t explain. I help identify emotional triggers and the deeper beliefs behind them so we can move beyond coping and work toward real, lasting healing.
I’m warm, collaborative, & insight‑focused. I tailor therapy to your needs w/EMDR, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, & self‑compassion. Whether you’re reprocessing trauma, building emotional regulation, or deepening self‑understanding, our work will be rooted in curiosity, care, & safety. Email me when you’re ready; I’d be honored to walk beside you on your journey.

I've supported survivors in many settings—from crisis hotlines to psychiatric hospitals and my work as a sexual assault counselor at HCWC. These experiences shaped my ability to offer steady, compassionate care, and I truly love this work I've continued in private practice since 2017.
