You may look like you have it all together while quietly wondering, “Is this really the life I want?” Maybe you’ve spent years being capable, successful, and dependable, but lately you feel stuck, disconnected, anxious, or unsure of what comes next. You may be navigating relationship struggles, a career or identity transition, trauma, anxiety, or patterns that once helped you cope but no longer feel right. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll create clarity around what you want and help you move forward with greater confidence and intention.
I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, identity, relationships, career transitions, anxiety, and feeling stuck. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I integrate EMDR with other evidence-based approaches to help you understand patterns, process experiences, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful change.
You don't have to have it all figured out before starting therapy. If you’ve spent a lot of time being who others need you to be, it can be difficult to know what you actually want. Therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and reconnect with yourself. I’d be honored to help you begin that process.
