Your story matters. Let’s explore it together. Life’s challenges—whether in relationships, career, or personal identity—can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps. My approach is collaborative and holistic, integrating both body & mind to address the full scope of your experience. I draw from somatic therapies and parts work like IFS, resourcing techniques in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, to provide tools and techniques that go beyond talking, helping you create deeper, lasting change. My approach is collaborative and holistic, integrating body and mind to address the full scope of your experience.
Together, we’ll uncover strategies to build resilience, process past traumas, and shift patterns that no longer serve you. Whether it's learning to set boundaries, deepening self-awareness, or healing from the emotional toll of life’s transitions, I’m here to support you in finding clarity and balance.
You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. If you’re ready to create a life that feels more aligned, connected, and fulfilling, I can help you. Let’s work together to create lasting change. Reach out today to take the first step.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, & trauma related to their identity or childhoods. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, & collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month & sustained improvement thereafter.
