I specialize in therapy for adults navigating chronic illness, trauma, nervous system dysregulation, disability identity shifts, and the emotional impact of living in a body that feels unpredictable or misunderstood. Many of the clients I work with are coping with chronic pain, medical trauma, burnout, grief, anxiety, masking, or the exhaustion of trying to function while struggling internally.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, Brainspotting, and a Jungian lens that explores the deeper meaning of symptoms, identity, and transformation. I help clients connect the relationship between mind and body, especially when experiences do not fit into traditional explanations.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, therapy can be a place to begin making sense of what you’ve been carrying. I offer a supportive, collaborative space where we move at your pace and work toward a more grounded, steady sense of who you are.

My work focuses on trauma, the nervous system, and identity when your body feels unpredictable. Using Brainspotting and a Jungian lens, I support disability grief, helping clients understand symptoms, reconnect with themselves, and build a sense of empowerment and possibility.

For many clients, grief is not a single loss but includes changes in identity, health, relationships, safety, or the life you expected. Grief often lives in the body and nervous system, showing up as anxiety, trauma responses, or exhaustion. A grief-informed approach slows the work, honors loss, and addresses distress at its roots with care and respect.

I use therapeutic approaches that help you connect with your deeper needs and inner experience. A focus of my work is healing attachment wounds related to grief and loss with a parent or caregiver, whether through death or emotional absence. I also support individuals living with chronic health conditions who are highly sensitive, empathic, or often in caregiving professions.
