Sometimes, our minds simply won’t slow down especially when dealing with intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and the effects of trauma. Anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and the impact of past or ongoing trauma can feel heavy, confusing, and at times frightening. It can be hard to make sense of what you’re feeling, let alone know what to do next. You might be stuck in loops of overthinking, replaying conversations, or questioning your own thoughts. It can be exhausting to feel like your mind never gives you a break. We all need a space where we can feel safe, heard, seen, and cared about as we work through the hard and hidden spots in us.
Anxiety, OCD, and trauma affect all of us differently and can create maladaptive survival skills. I offer a judgment free zone to let all of the intrusive thoughts and hard feelings out to help make sense of experiences, gently work through what feels overwhelming and overstimulating, and build skills that help you feel more grounded and in control.
You don’t have to carry everything by yourself. Healing isn’t about rushing to an endpoint - it’s about having space to move through your experiences in a way that feels safe, supported, and meaningful. You deserve to feel heard and not alone. If you’re ready for that kind of support, I’m here to walk alongside you, at your own pace.

I received my Master's degree in 2016 and gained experience working with both adults and children before stepping away to focus on raising my own family. I have since returned to private practice, bringing a renewed sense of compassion, insight, and commitment to helping clients navigate challenges.
