I work with clients who struggle with anxiety/depression or trauma related to childhood, intimate relationships, car accidents, abuse, etc.
I work with clients who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, or chronic stress—even after trying talk therapy. You may notice tension in your body, difficulty relaxing, or emotional overwhelm. Often, past trauma or long-term stress has left your nervous system dysregulated.
If you’re seeking more than symptom relief—wanting to feel safe, grounded, and alive again—I can help you build resilience, body awareness, and emotional balance through Somatic Experiencing (SE) and Neurosomatic (NSI) tools to restore calm, clarity, and self-trust.

My ideal client is someone who is self-aware enough to know they want change, but unsure how to create it. They may be struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or lingering effects of past trauma. Often, they feel stuck — caught in cycles of overthinking, people-pleasing, or self-doubt — and they're tired of carrying emotional weight alone.

You may be carrying grief, trauma, or life transitions that feel overwhelming or difficult to process alone. Many of the people I work with feel stuck in painful patterns, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move through loss, crises, or major life changes. I offer a warm, culturally attuned space where clients can explore their experiences with curiosity, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and move toward greater clarity and healing.

I have 17 years of experience in the field and specialize in working with survivors of sexual assault, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, intimate partner violence, stalking and various complex trauma presentations.
Many of us have had challenging experiences in our life that despite how much time has passed it still feels like it was just yesterday. Maybe we feel it’s unfair to label an experience as a “trauma” because we often doubt the intensity of our concerns or get lost in comparing ourselves to others by thinking “I didn’t have it as bad as they did.” Trauma can be enduring “too much for too long,” “too much too quickly” or “not enough for too long.” Wherever you fall on the spectrum of trauma symptoms (intense anxiety, intrusive and ruminating thoughts, increased irritability, depression, hypervigilance..) I am here to help.

Specializing in abuse, anxiety, and EMDR.
You're incredibly self-aware, but still, feel stuck no matter what you do. You’ve read books, listened to podcasts, and tried 101 breathing techniques, but you’re still struggling. You try to rationalize with yourself that it's in the past. You're left feeling (still) anxious and on top of it all, discouraged. You've endured trauma that you’ve worked hard to lock away and forget. Though, it’s seeping through the cracks and infiltrating your everyday life. You’re resourceful, determined, and love a good challenge so you’ve tried to mend things on your own…to self-heal. Yet, none of it is working...you're ready for a change.

Domestic Abuse Therapists
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.
When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.
What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.
How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
