Are you feeling completely overwhelmed—whether from painful or traumatic experiences, feeling unsafe or unsettled in a partner relationship, or the demands of a high-performance career? You might feel constantly on edge, react in ways that don’t make sense to you, or question whether your relationship is “normal.” Or, despite checking all the boxes of success, you may feel exhausted, empty, or like an imposter. These experiences can leave you anxious or drained, but in working together, you can reclaim balance, build confidence, and move toward a life that feels safe, fulfilling, and authentically you.
Using EMDR, DBT, and trauma-focused CBT, I help clients process trauma, volatile relationships, and reduce stress from high-demand careers. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on building resilience, safety, and control so you can step into the stronger, more confident version of yourself you deserve.
Healing begins with taking that first step to feel heard, supported, and safe. If you’re ready to process what’s been hard and build balance and confidence, reach out to schedule a confidential free consultation—together, meaningful change is possible.

I work with clients carrying the weight of trauma, violent relationships, high-pressure careers, and worries about the uncertainties of immigration status. In our first session, we'll discuss what's been the most challenging and create a plan to help you feel safer, calmer, and more in control. Many notice relief in just a few weeks, with steady progress continuing as we move forward.

Everyone's story is different, and so is the support you need. I offer EMDR to process tough memories, CBT to shift unhelpful thoughts, and DBT to manage emotions and improve relationships. In our sessions, you'll find a safe, supportive space to feel calmer, more grounded, and in control.
