Do you feel everything deeply, yet still feel disconnected from yourself? You might be someone who functions well on the outside — capable, even accomplished — but inside feels overwhelmed, stuck, or unlike yourself. You may overthink, second-guess, or carry emotional patterns that insight alone hasn't changed. I work with adults navigating trauma, identity, and chronic emotional overwhelm. My approach is trauma-informed and integrates both cognitive and body-based perspectives — helping you understand not just your thoughts, but how past experiences live in your nervous system. Saturday appointments available. Sliding scale.
My goal isn't just coping — it's helping you feel grounded, regulated, and reconnected to yourself. I draw on IFS-informed parts work, somatic awareness, and a science-trained mind to offer something genuinely thoughtful. I'm especially attuned to clients who are highly sensitive, deeply feeling, or used to carrying everything alone.

I help with trauma, identity, self-doubt, and disconnection. Treatment includes exploring patterns, building awareness, and supporting nervous system regulation. I also offer KAP preparation and integration. Clients often gain clarity, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and IFS-informed parts work — approaches that invite curiosity rather than judgment toward every part of you. Sessions feel like a collaborative conversation: talking, reflecting, and noticing patterns together. You'll be met with warmth and genuine care, at a pace that feels right for you.
