I help clients dealing with the impacts of trauma, stress, anxiety, fatigue, or low self-worth get out of that survival mode and get back to being present and engaged in their lives. My specialty is working with helpers - people who've learned to prioritize something before themselves. Dealing with stressors and difficult experiences is an inevitable part of life, but how it impacts us doesn't have to be! I use an integrative and nervous system-informed approach to help you move forward and feel more connected and regulated. We work together to find the source of your struggles for deeper change.
I am passionate about working with trauma, anxiety, and depression with narrative therapy, self-compassion, parts work, and brainspotting. I'm certified in Brainspotting. Brainspotting is a mind-body therapy that allows for deeper trauma processing and increases nervous system regulation. I'm also trained in TIST.
Helping clients find the roots of their symptoms and heal from trauma and chronic stressors is my goal. I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist and specialize in working with First Responders and people who have learned to prioritize others over themselves. Schedule a free consultation call and we'll get started together (:

I often use narrative therapy to help you explore meaning making and the impacts it's having, self-compassion to support your relationship with yourself, and mind-body approaches, which means that we'll do more than just talk about things. Our thinking brain only does so much for us, things like somatics and brainspotting let us go deeper.
