Are you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or stuck? Maybe you’re navigating the aftereffects of trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, or facing challenges in your relationships. Perhaps you’re in the middle of a major life transition including being diagnosed with a chronic illness.. This is where I come in. I work with teens, adults and couples. I work with LGBTQIA+ clients, survivors of narcissistic abuse and people with chronic illnesses. I also work with people with depression and anxiety.

I’m an active, compassionate therapist who creates a supportive space for you to untangle what is causing you pain or keeping you stuck. Using mindfulness, attachment theory, IFS and trauma work, we’ll explore your patterns, build tools for grounding and self-compassion, and help you move toward a more connected, present, and fulfilling life.

If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. Let’s see how we can work together.

I help people who may seem "fine" on the outside, but who are overwhelmed, isolated, or emotionally drained inside. I use Somatic therapy, IFS and EMDR to help my clients reconnect with themselves and create lasting internal change. I believe in treating the root- not just the symptoms.
