Talking alone isn’t alway enough which is why my practice blends talk therapy with evidence-based somatic techniques like EMDR, IFS, and mindfulness. Managing the demands of daily life while also trying to make sense of ongoing emotional imbalances or behavioral misalignments can feel overwhelming—whether they stem from past wounds, unhelpful habits, or fears about the future. I understand how these struggles can affect (and even 'infect') our minds, bodies, and relationships. If you're looking for support from someone who truly understands, has experience, and provides practical guidance, schedule a free consultation.
I have 15 years of experience and specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, dependency. My practice combines insight-oriented talk therapy somatic-informed techniques, including Mindfulness, EMDR, breathwork, movement, and body awareness practices to support nervous system regulation and promote sustainable healing.
Ultimately, I use my expertise in nine evidence-based practices to tailor treatment to your unique needs. I genuinely care for my clients and strive to help you find relief while optimizing your functioning and overall well-being. Humans evolved to be resourceful and adaptable. So, let’s talk and see how I can help.
