I specialize in trauma and all of the ick that can come from trauma, like depression and anxiety and addiction. Trauma can make people feel like they're broken, worthless, and not capable or deserving of living a better life. I'd like to help you change that. You can live a life without always looking over your shoulder, without doubting if your friends really love you. You can have faith in yourself and in your future. You can think of yourself as a person who matters.

On the outside, your life looks good—the career, the family, the vacations, the nights out. But inside, something feels off. Many clients come in feeling shut down, emotionally alone, or disconnected in their relationships. They may look like they have it all together but quietly feel stressed, overwhelmed, or unsure how to make things better. You can find out more about me and my practice on ig: mindfulalliancetherapy

I love working with adults that seek to appreciate and trust themselves. Our relationship to ourself can be harmed by painful life experiences, bias and oppression, anxiety, depression and unhealthy relationships. We may blame and disconnect from ourselves in order to fit a mold, feel loved or survive difficult life events. Therapy sessions are a time for folks to reconnect with themselves. Our work together can lead to a better understanding of needs and strengths so each client can navigate their life with a sense of self compassion and respect.

I best serve clients looking to explore who they are, how they relate to the world, and how their emotional experience relates to those things. Anxiety, depression, discomfort, and fear are all part of our lives and absolutely essential. I also work well with clients who are open to a mix of a bit of processing, a bit of skills work, a bit of somatic work, and a bit of creative integrative work. You are more than one aspect of your experience!

I am a therapist who works with others to define and pursue meaning and paths forward throughout the therapeutic relationship. The human-to-human relationship is the most important aspect of any therapeutic relationship. Everyone has their rock bottoms and dreaded low points, some more frequent than others, and it is in these moments that we seek out our most precious memories and experiences, drawing upon the peace we have felt from others to garner hope for a future with more light to come. At times, we have to be creative, and I strive to be one of these lights in the minds and hearts of my clients in these inevitable moments.

You are worthy of happiness and peace. It might feel like things are out of your control right now—but I promise, you have more strength and choice than you realize. Healing from trauma can feel overwhelming. Sometimes we cling to what’s familiar, even when it no longer serves us, because it feels like that’s all we know. I will help you release what is weighing you down and move toward what brings you peace, clarity, and connection. You deserve to trust yourself, feel safe in your body, and experience joy again.

I aim to create a safe, supportive, and trauma-informed environment for all clients to feel able to explore and express themselves. This includes providing validation to the experiences of individuals and recognizing their strengths. My role as a clinician is not to tell clients what decisions to make in their lives but rather empower clients to make those decisions for themselves with more clarity.

Many of the clients I work with feel stuck in repeating relationship patterns, question their value in relationships, or find themselves prioritizing others while losing connection with their own needs and voice, often leading to isolation and poor coping. Often, people who seek out therapy are motivated for change but need a space to better understand themselves and their experiences. I primarily work with women navigating challenges such as anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, life transitions, boundaries, and self-worth. Therapy is not about “fixing” you — it's about understanding yourself more deeply, in a meaningful way.

I work with people who want to understand what’s going on beneath the surface so they can move toward a more intentional, meaningful life. My approach draws from CBT and ACT with an existential lens, helping you explore questions of freedom, choice, and values and apply them in ways that change how you actually experience your life. Maybe you’ve been holding it together, but something still feels off. Your mind won’t slow down, your relationships feel repetitive or unsatisfying, or there’s a sense that you’re not quite living the life you want. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to sort it out alone.

You feel stretched thin, constantly giving to everyone else but struggling to find yourself in the process. Maybe motherhood has shifted your identity, your relationships feel different, or the balance of it all feels impossible. You might battle perfectionism, people-pleasing, or a loud inner critic that makes it hard to trust yourself. You want to feel more grounded, confident, and at ease—not just going through the motions but truly present in your life. I help women untangle what’s holding them back, heal emotional wounds, and reconnect with their inner wisdom.

Hello, I'm here to help. Life is filled with what I consider "tiny deaths". Moments of transition (good or bad). Change can be anticipated, or an unexpected surprise. These events are complimented with complex emotions. Feelings including but not limited to: confusion, rage, grief, stress, anxiety, anger, fear, and loss. My goal is to assist those with processing. I have many clients that do this in an individual capacity, or with their partner/loved one. Allow me to create a space to unpack these changes, along with the inevitable restructuring of your individual identity or relationship as it evolves.

If OCD, ADHD, anxiety, insomnia, BFRBs, trauma, or depression have left you overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in your own mind, therapy can help you find a steadier way forward. You may look capable on the outside while carrying anxiety, rumination, urges, sleep problems, shame, or emotional pain that others do not see. You may also feel frustrated that insight alone has not changed the patterns. The goal is not only to feel safer, but to build a life with more clarity, freedom, meaning, connection, and genuine moments of joy.

I invite you to pause with me in this present space (intentionally) and take 2 deep and slow breaths from the abdomen (Back straight). What are you noticing in your body? What are these sensations (Dreams, Archetypes , Omens, Images, pain, fear, sadness etc.)? Where is it located in your body presently? Yes! the body keeps the score. It is a receptacle of programs in which we are oftentimes unaware we overlook; desensitized to its non -verbal wisdom. In fact, we generally weren't taught to slow down and pay attention to it during those crucial moments in our lives in which our self image and esteem are impacted..
