Life experiences can leave us feeling broken, disconnected, and unsure of who we are. You may feel triggered by everyday situations, isolated from those who just don’t get it, or burdened by guilt over things that were never your fault. Maybe you can’t even remember a time when life felt safe. I see you—and I believe healing is possible. You're ready for relief. Ready to show up in relationships without the weight of the past. Ready to thrive, instead of just surviving. Ready to wake up with purpose, learn to love yourself, and move toward the future with hope. I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
I specialize in working with adults navigating post-traumatic stress—whether from a single overwhelming event or a long history of trauma, anxiety, grief, chronic illness, or spiritual abuse. Clients come to me seeking warmth, safety, and compassion, paired with evidence-based treatment needed for effective trauma recovery.
As a trauma survivor myself, I honor the step you’re taking. As a trauma therapist, I can help you use the wisdom of your body and create new experiences in your healing process. You don’t have to continue feeling broken and disconnected, and you don’t have to do it alone. I'll be here, holding space for you to explore your journey. I'm excited to connect.

My approach to therapy is based on integrative techniques and EMDR, which can allow for deeper healing than traditional talk therapy. I am trained in a variety of other modalities as well and can incorporate them based on your unique needs & goals. You and I will work together to determine which methods suit you best.
