Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in exhausting patterns? You try your best, yet emotions like anxiety, panic, and self-doubt keep hijacking you, leaving you drained and unsure of how to move forward. You struggle with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, and expressing your true self—often feeling trapped in cycles of overwhelm, frustration, or disappointment. You’re ready for change. You want to feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself in a way that brings peace and balance to your life.
As a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I specialize in trauma, attachment, and emotional regulation. Using body-based techniques, I help young adults reconnect with themselves, break free from unhelpful patterns, and cultivate deep self-trust. My approach is supportive and empowering, guiding you toward lasting emotional balance.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. I offer a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit. Let’s work together to transform your relationship with yourself and create a life where you feel truly empowered.

I use Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and EMDR. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and what's contributing to the issue(s). With SE and IFS, we'll build your tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions. We can incorporate EMDR for specific or time-limited issues.
