I work primarily with young adults navigating anxiety, attachment wounds, and the lasting impact of complicated relationships with their mothers. Many of my clients are insightful and capable, yet feel chronically dysregulated, self-critical, or unsure of themselves in relationships. I’m easy to talk to, present, and gently direct. Therapy with me isn’t an interrogation—I won’t answer your questions with more questions or rush you toward quick fixes. I believe healing happens in a shame-free, attuned relationship where your nervous system feels safe enough to soften.
I specialize in trauma-informed therapy for adults 21+ facing anxiety, mood swings, self-doubt, and unresolved childhood pain. I’m EMDR-trained and offer a polyvagal-informed, relational approach to help you feel safer, more seen, and more regulated in daily life.
You’re not too much. You’re not broken. You’re someone who’s been surviving the best you can. As The Mama Trauma Therapist, I offer steady, compassionate support as we gently explore what’s been holding you back—always at your pace, and always with care.
