I work with adults who are living with depression, anxiety, trauma, and the physical and emotional impact of chronic pain or chronic illness. You may be newly diagnosed, navigating an autoimmune condition, or feeling worn down by symptoms that don’t always have clear answers. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to face it alone.
I offer a safe, supportive space to explore how stress, trauma, and life experiences can show up in both the body and mind—and to begin healing in a way that feels respectful of your pace. My style is warm, non-judgmental, and direct, and I value honest, collaborative work.
My approach is holistic, attachment-based, and trauma-focused. I am trained in EMDR, Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). We will work together to find what best supports you. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward greater balance, relief, and mind-body healing.
I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so we can talk about what you’re looking for and see if working together feels like a good fit.
