If you’re here, you might be feeling disconnected from yourself in ways that are hard to put into words. Maybe you’ve gotten really good at pushing through, staying busy, or taking care of everyone else — but underneath that, there’s anxiety, heaviness, or experiences you haven’t fully had space to process. Childhood trauma, relationship wounds, or ongoing stress can linger in ways that are difficult to explain but impossible to ignore. You want to feel more connected.
I offer trauma-informed therapy that creates space for you to gently process what you’ve been holding at a pace that doesn’t feel overwhelming to you. I also offer Brainspotting, an approach that helps process trauma stored in the body and nervous system. It can be especially helpful if you feel stuck in patterns that insight alone hasn’t changed.
Our work is collaborative and moves at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Real change can happen when you have a space where all of you is welcome. I’d love to connect when you’re ready.

In our sessions, we'll explore what's beneath the surface of your symptoms with care and curiosity. I use a blend of approaches-like brainspotting, somatic work, and honest conversation-to help you move from a place of activation more into a place of connection with yourself and others. We go at your pace.
