Life’s challenges—whether from trauma, ADHD, major life transitions, or high stress—can leave you feeling disconnected and stuck. Persistent irritability, emotional withdrawal, and patterns of overthinking or avoidance can negatively affect your relationships, self-esteem, sleep, and overall motivation. You may find yourself exhausted, burned out, or relying on unhealthy coping just to get through the day. I help individuals navigate these struggles by addressing emotional disconnection, anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-doubt.
Our work together will focus on regulating your nervous system and building resilience—creating space for healing and meaningful change. My approach is trauma-informed, using Brainspotting, IFS, ACT, and CBT to help release stuck emotions. I specialize in working with public safety members, healthcare workers, and first gen immigrants.
Therapy is your space to explore and process the parts of yourself that no one else sees. Whether you’re struggling with overwhelming emotions, trying to understand yourself better, or seeking deeper emotional connections, I’m here to support you in that journey. Let’s work together to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Brainspotting is a brain-body based approach to healing that works with the nervous system to reorganize and realign itself, enhancing resilience and facilitating change. Most of my client appreciate that ability to process trauma, without having to directly talk about it. I also utilize parts work to help client's learn to take care of their own emotional needs.
