I integrate trauma-informed and attachment-based therapy to help clients better understand emotional patterns, improve relationship dynamics, and develop more secure connections with themselves and others.
I work with women who struggle with anxious attachment, relationship insecurity, fear of abandonment, or emotional overwhelm in relationships. Many clients I work with feel exhausted by overthinking, ashamed of how reactive they become, or discouraged by repeated unhealthy relationship patterns. Therapy provides a supportive space to better understand these patterns and build healthier, more secure relationships.

Using person-centered, narrative, and trauma-informed approaches, I help you understand the roots of your patterns, set boundaries without guilt, and reconnect with your authentic self.
You’re the high performer, the fixer, the “strong one.” On the outside: capable, accomplished, admired. On the inside: exhausted, anxious, and held together by willpower, an endless to-do list, and caffeine. Saying "no" feels "selfish." Rest feels unproductive. A Netflix binge somehow becomes an existential crisis. Boundaries feel impossible. And, great, here comes that constant whisper, "You're not doing enough." This whisper may have helped you survive and feel a sense of acceptance and belonging. But over time, it can lead to people-pleasing, chronic burnout, resentment, unfulfillment and detachment from yourself and others.

At times life can be exceptionally challenging and our resilience can be tested. We might have tried everything to feel better and yet find ourselves struggling. Whether the challenge is an unexpected life event, a transition, feeling stuck in our past, unsure about the future, our relationships, or our own personal internal struggle, these challenges can impact our lives and functioning in unexpected ways that even the most resilient person can have difficulties coping with or processing. Therapy can be helpful in addressing life's difficulties and making our emotional pain transformative, and we don’t have to do this alone.

Those whom I have had the privilege to walk with on their healing journey were facing things like depression, anxiety, life transitions, divorce, chronic pain, parenting difficulties & trauma.
My approach to therapy is a somatic based one. This means I view the mind and body as connected. I help my clients to connect to their bodies and listen to what it is trying to call their attention to, as well to help clients release histories, feelings and energies stored in the body which might be causing us both psychological and physical pain.

I integrate EMDR for trauma and emotional healing and the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen their connection.
As humans, we are inherently social beings who thrive on emotional connection. Many of the individuals, couples, and families I work with feel stuck in recurring patterns—whether that looks like anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, emotional disconnection, or the effects of painful life experiences. While these challenges may feel like isolated problems, I believe they often make more sense when understood within the context of our relationships, family experiences, and environments. Together, we identify and change the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, creating opportunities for meaningful and lasting change.

When should I seek treatment for trauma?
Not everyone who undergoes trauma needs therapy to heal, but many do. If, after experiencing a traumatic event, you find yourself struggling with symptoms such as nightmares, dissociation, irritability, or emotional numbness—especially if these symptoms last more than a month and are severe enough to interfere with your daily functioning—you may benefit from seeking out therapy with a trauma-informed provider.

How long does trauma therapy take?
Different types of therapy for trauma unfold on different timelines. Prolonged exposure therapy and cognitive processing therapy, for example, each take about three months, while trauma-informed CBT may last anywhere from 8 to 25 sessions. Other approaches, especially those that are less structured or that incorporate elements from multiple modalities, may be more open-ended, though many patients report feeling better within the first few months of treatment.

What happens if trauma is left untreated?
Unaddressed trauma can have serious—even devastating—effects on relationships, career, and day-to-day functioning. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) can lead people to distrust or lash out at others, making it difficult to maintain intimate relationships; it can also trigger symptoms such as flashbacks or hyperreactivity that can interfere with a person’s ability to function effectively, personally and/or professionally. Some sufferers turn to drugs to find relief. Symptoms may lessen on their own with time, but there is no guarantee that PTSD will resolve on its own.

Can PTSD come back after treatment?
It is possible for PTSD symptoms to recur months or years after successful treatment. This is because, like most mental health disorders, it is not possible to “cure” PTSD, and stressful life events may cause symptoms to recur in even the most resilient individuals. There is no shame in re-experiencing PTSD symptoms nor in returning to therapy when such relapses occur; indeed, many forms of trauma therapy explicitly encourage periodic “maintenance sessions” to reinforce coping skills and ensure that symptoms stay manageable.
