You’ve spent your life being the pillar for everyone else but behind that role, you feel like an imposter, like a detail in your own story. Years of people-pleasing have left you feeling resentful, exhausted, and disconnected from who you really are. You know you can't take this anymore, but the idea of standing up for yourself and saying no to the constant stream of demands feels absolutely terrifying. You know you need support, and you know that you need the kind of support where celebrates you for wanting to reclaim your own life.
I help you take the controller back. I offer individual talk therapy services that blend Somatic Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS). We don’t just talk about your past; we work with the body to heal the parts of you that learned that staying small kept you safe. Together, we move from surviving to becoming the center of your own story.
You deserve to be more than a supporting character the melodramas of others. Your needs are not an inconvenience. I offer a space where your identity is celebrated and your healing is prioritized. You’ve suffered for others long enough—it is time to exist for yourself. Reach out today to begin your journey toward reclaiming your life.

I offer talk and embodiment-based therapy to adult trauma survivors. During sessions 1-3, we focus on what brings you into therapy and review your intake responses. Later, I create a treatment plan for you based on your needs and goals. Most people see me two times per month and remain in therapy for 6 months before they notice the long-term positive changes brought them into therapy.
