Does it feel like you've been holding it together for everyone around you? Showing up and pushing through, but privately wondering when it gets to be your turn. Or maybe something happened, something you've carried quietly for a long time, and you're finally ready to set it down. That’s where we start.
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I also have specialized training in EMDR for trauma and PTSD, and in perinatal mental health, supporting people through the profound and often complicated emotional terrain of fertility, pregnancy, and the postpartum period.
At the heart of my work is relationship. Therapy isn't just techniques. It’s feeling safe enough to be real. I bring warmth, steadiness, and some humor into the room, because I believe healing happens when you feel deeply understood. Starting therapy takes courage, and I don't take that lightly. If you're ready to begin, I’d love to hear from you.
