Maybe you understand exactly why you do what you do, but still find yourself repeating the same patterns. You may overthink, people-please, push yourself too hard, struggle to set boundaries, or turn to food, drugs, alcohol, relationships, or achievement when life feels overwhelming. You may even know where these patterns came from and still feel stuck. If you’ve wondered, “Why can’t I just stop?” you’re not alone, and it isn’t because you’re weak. These patterns began as ways of protecting you. You’re not broken- only blocked. Together, we’ll gently uncover what’s keeping you stuck so you can reconnect with your highest self.
I help adults heal the trauma that’s keeping them stuck in addiction, eating disorders, attachment wounds, people-pleasing, and shame. My clients can explain their trauma logically, but their bodies haven’t gotten the memo that it’s over. My approach is person-centered, drawing from EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, psychodynamic and spiritual frameworks.
One of the most important questions I ask is: What difference do you want to see in yourself as a result of this work? Clarifying that vision is part of what makes change sustainable. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and gently challenging. I believe healing happens when you feel safe enough to be fully known, not judged.

In our first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and begin identifying the most effective ways to help you move toward your goals. I often use EMDR as a primary approach because it can lead to meaningful results efficiently. I also integrate elements of somatic work and incorporate a spiritual perspective when appropriate. Every client is unique and your therapy hour should be too.
