Seeking help is a courageous step. If you've spent time in traditional therapy, you've likely made valuable progress. But if talk, insight, and coping haven’t led to lasting change, it may be time for a different approach. I often work with clients who come from families where boundaries were unclear, emotions were misunderstood, connection felt conditional, or abuse was mistaken for love. These challenges run deep, creating patterns of reactivity, anxiety, depression, and painful relationship dynamics. By addressing the root cause, we break cycles of suffering and move beyond mere coping to true healing.
I guide clients in healing C-PTSD using EMDR, IFS, somatic awareness, mindfulness, attachment theory, and humor. This isn’t about giving you coping tools it’s about helping you discover your own intuitive ways of healing. I’ll help you identify your protective mechanisms, reconnect mind and body, quiet your inner critic, and make new choices with confidence.
Having navigated my own healing journey, I get how exhausting it is to manage inner battles that keep us stuck in painful patterns. You haven’t failed. Your nervous system, past, and protective parts, are asking to be met with compassion and understanding. When you're ready, healing is possible, and it’s an honor to hold that space for you. Welcome.

I can help heal traumas from the past. In order to expand the window of tolerance, initial sessions will focus on getting comfortable with the uncomfortable, and identifying parts of self. This work helps expand your ability to stay centered during emotional pain, encouraging inner trust and confidence to make new choices for yourself.

Most sessions are getting curious, compassionate, and comfortable with the uncomfortable. We may chat, color, draw, make art, and tune into body sensations. These tools help gain understanding of your internal experience, identify Parts of Self and the negative core beliefs they carry. Then when you're ready we can move into EMDR. Targeting root wounds for deep, lasting healing.
